We have an old oak tree, not too far away, which is known as a 'Remarkable Oak Tree' - it doesn't look huge, but the circumference of the trunk is 7m and I believe it is around five or six hundred years old. I must do a post on that one day, I am sure you would enjoy seeing it.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-6147475568781811082012-05-12T17:05:23.634+01:002012-05-12T17:05:23.634+01:00Hello Green Dragonette, I see what you mean - it ...Hello Green Dragonette, I see what you mean - it is making a big, solid statement - I'm not good at tree identification, but it is a very handsome, old tree.

Unfortunately we don't have any heareabouts, I wish we had! We have miles and miles of hedges, some of it is very ancient. There is some sort of guide for working out how ancient a hedge may be be counting the number of species within a 30 metre length. At a rough guess I reckon some of the hedges I walk along could be around five or six hundred hundred years old, in parts. Simply amazing.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-6728225713980418852012-05-12T16:40:09.565+01:002012-05-12T16:40:09.565+01:00Hello alwaysbackroads, I am so pleased you like i...Hello alwaysbackroads, I am so pleased you like it - I really like that tree.

That sometimes happens with metal fences but it would be really weird for the tree to swallow a wooden board--sorta like cannibalism. I truly love the stone fences and hedges in England. I remember when the plane was banking around to land at the airport, we could see sheep in the lovely fields below surrounded by stone fences. It was breathtaking! That's one of my many fond memories of my visit there.Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-91677958061529124382012-05-11T19:55:57.082+01:002012-05-11T19:55:57.082+01:00Love that first shot!
