Gardens. Nature. Dogs. Nonsense.
Pinned
It's a dog's life.
A row of old oaks. Planted I guess more than 100 years ago, when these woods were the pleasure grounds of London bankers.

Health warning: this song has some truly offensive lyrics.

"And as awful as the world can be we are still alive
And if we're very careful we might well survive
There are cures & solutions & there is compromise
Christmas morning"

Funny how some sweet chestnuts have twisty bark but their neighbours don't.

I think this is called a Memory Tree. Someone has decorated a tree in the woods and left a box of baubles and a Sharpie at its bottom. For passers-by to leave messages

A lone silver birch.
