That unusual tree is pretty amazing. How big was it? It’s hard to tell without a reference point.

  Thanks, Candice. Pretty huge. It was possible to lean one’s back against the ground touching branch, but not possible to sit on it without a climb.

Excellent photos Roland. They could almost be somewhere in the Mediterranean. Just over a hundred sleeps until Summer. (Did you get my reply to your email)

    I was just making sure Roland, as you said you were having some computer related problems. Just didn’t want you think I had ignored you.
