passing on the knowledge.

[colsontr33s]

passing on the knowledge, from father, to son. or in my case to daughter. recently became a single parent to my little girl for reasons i wont bore you with. but she has just turned three years old and have been teaching her about trees. it started of by warning her about nettles and brambles until on a walk she pointed out a holly tree. since then i have been teaching her "trees" she now knows at least a dozen trees and asks me what a tree is called if she doesnt know. havent seen this enthusiasm for years from someone getting into the trade. ie traniee, maybe cause of her age. made me so proud at a wedding recently when i pointed at a hedge thirty yards away and said whats that? and she turned round and said "laurel" anyone else got an arborist in the making?
