Absolutely 😍 here's the other, smaller, one being just as lovely...

Ha yep, their lifespan far exceeds us puny humans!

Here's the Camellia doing its thing last Spring...

Blimey, that was a good find! Poor little Acer. It'll be cool seeing it recover tho, nice one.

Our one is a bit of a giant, it's been there nearly 30 years and is best mates with a huge Camellia (planted them together when they were tiny and they're both massive now)

Sure is! 😍

Ta m80, it's such a beautiful tree 🧡

(Hopefully the photo is worth me almost falling out of the upstairs window when I took it 🤭)

(...the photo's a bit shaky, coz I was leaning very precariously out of an upstairs window)

Kinda looks like a giant praying mantis in a fancy cape / spiky wig combo. Lovely stuff.

Missed you, lovely P 🩵
Good to see you back here.
Sending lots of love xx ✨️

(people say it gets easier as time goes on, but that's bollocks; we just gradually get used to how hard it is x)

Ah, lovely stuff, ta Skip.
Will give that a go 🦕 💛

Sounds it. Am gonna give it a massive swerve

Whilst I've always liked Pavement, I'm now grateful to you guys for sparing me from wasting 128 minutes of my life.
Thank you both for your service 🫡
