Thanks and Following a Tree

 Thank you everyone for comments on the re-post  all about Christmas moaners back in 2013. Perhaps after the covid years when Christmas was turned upside down  plus being older and wiser we are all more laid back and don't get so stressed - or that might be just me!

I tell the family that the worst thing that could happen has already happened to me and even being told a few years ago that "there wasn't room for me" for Christmas day didn't  bother me !  (It wasn't one of the children who said this - they were disgusted - a lot more than I was!).


Anyway..............................................

I'd unintentionally picked the coldest morning to walk up the lane for November photos of the Oaks so didn't hang around long. It was before Storm Bert which took all the remaining leaves off many trees in the village.


The leaves that were left were now shades of brown


Without the leaves you can see how gnarly the old trunk is


Still some rosehips for colour in the hedges


Sugar beet is still to be harvested


The view over the village is my header for a couple of weeks until I find something Christmassy.


Back Soon

  1. I do love the cheeriness of the rosehips in the hedge

  2. The trees opposite are now completely bare and I can see and hear the children in the schoolyard across the road. I like your new header photograph-it looks so calm. Catriona

  3. I love your "diary of a tree". One day I might try the same thing with a local tree.
