When Your Tree Blows Down...

My children enjoyed climbing this greengage tree, when they were small.  I used the fruit to make plum crumbles and jam.  Memories of picnicking under it's branches on hot Summer days are interwoven into the idyllic version of our family life!

The wind discovered a weakness and the tree snapped in two, so that was that. My husband chopped it up and gave the logs to his friend.

Now the tree has gone, it has opened up the garden, so it is time to let go, move on and enjoy the view...
