Misty morning trees

28 Feb 2026 11 11 33
This is a photo from last year, but this morning's weather feels very similar! In the misty background is the church at Frampton on Severn in Gloucestershire. It's a charming village, with what is said to be the longest village green in England, and is about 22 acres (9 hectares) in size. There is a cricket pitch at one end of the green, which is, conversely, one of the smallest in England! (https://www.cotswolds.com/listing/frampton-on-severn/280028301/)

Giant Redwood at my local arboretum

Fun fact: It's believed that there are now more giant redwwod trees in the UK than there are in their native range in California. Thanks to the Victorian era passion for collecting (stealing?) plant specimens from all over the world and bringing them back to Britain, there may be as many as half a million redwoods in the UK. Beacuse they are only 150 years old or less, most are mere saplings compared with their Californian cousins, and will take a few more centuries to get to a great height.
