Whitebeam

Many readers will have heard of the felling of the sycamore at Sycamore Gap on Hadrian’s Wall this week. I walked by it earlier this year.

I am saddened by such a deliberate act of wanton vandalism.

it makes me think we should consciously value trees more. This is my offering from this morning. A whitebeam (I think, but I am no expert) in Blakeney, seen on the walk for a coffee after my first sighting of pink-footed geese this winter, which made early rising worthwhile.
