Lots of you have heard the story of this Grand Old Oak. He sits on the edge of my back garden, close to my house and close to me.
He’s served as a huge protector over the last few years and luckily I was also able to repay the favour and protect him when he was threatened with the chainsaw 😢🌱 luckily, not on my watch! He will always have my protection.
He’s been a huge guardian to me, particularly through ill health and through my surgery. Oak trees are very much a tree of life, bringing strength and physical vitality in times of sickness but they are also a symbol of inner strength, endurance, courage, and emotional resilience.
We have grown side by side me and this (young) old man and I hope we have many more years of doing so 🌳🙏🏻💚
