I was once part of a forest. One by one all the other trees fell. I've witnessed civil war, and two world wars.
Many the time the plough boy sat down for rest under my crown.
Then came the automobile, they tarred a great road over my roots. Day and night now they thunder past me in metal boxes.

Birds take refuge in me, the squirrels steal my acorns!
People still come to see me though - they stare up through my canopy, they tell me how lovely I am.
Some people hug me, they're the kind ones. They're the ones who want to protect me.
God willing, I'll be here a while longer
Yours,
Oak

This English Oak tree is at least 500 yrs old.
It would be a sapling when King Henry VIII was about, you know the one who liked getting new wives.
The girth of this beauty is 7 metres.
I think this qualifies for #ThickTrunkTuesday

🎄 Day 2 of our #Shropshire advent calendar takes us to the Stretton Hills and here we have the view from Hazler Hill, looking towards Helmeth Hill and Caradoc. The dark sky you can see was bringing more snow, and after this shot I headed up Caradoc and was caught in a blizzard for an hour. 🎅

Any chance of a #Strictly pairing?
Seriously though #Homelessness is a major issue across the UK and in 2025 there should be none of it
There can be no excuse when so many properties lie empty

I think Zack Polanski was right to make this point, it highlights the gross inequality between the super rich and the rest of us.
