Tree with a face

Hi thought u might like this.

This is a meeting point for the children after playing in the garden at my sons nursery.

 

The other pic I took from the top of a corsican pine which needed some hangers removing after the snow.

 

The nursery is next to the big house (My Granny's) so the kids have the run of the garden. "Probably the best nursery in the world"

 

Keeps me busy too!!!

Do u mean pilkinkton? Did u manage the wood there? I used to play there when I was a kid.

Yeah, thats the one. i didn`t manage it but i used to help. Small world! Its Steve West who manages it. I know it as Foxcombe but its owned by the Pilkington trust. Thats where i learnt to use a chainsaw and climbed my first tree (with a harness). I feel all nostalgic now.

Well Well I used to climb the trees there as a kid the was a man who lived in a shed back the around 1984-6 ish. The mushroom are still there I'll post a pic when I go back (tuesday). Go steady happy memories.
