Country diary: Nobody loses in the robin game | Josie George

Word of the morning is ‘williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.

For day two of my tree advent calendar, I've chosen this graceful twin-topped alder. When I see it, I get that dose of oxytocin that tells me I'm relaxing. I'm safe. I'm close to home.
