I,d already clocked up a few hundered miles on my bike exploring the Canyons around the Valley and the rest of the day spent tidying the garden and making myself useful around the house whilst she was at work.Now with a few days off i had a suprise getaway booked and with time running out before i had to return to England i made ready for the journey.

And visit the land of the Giants.

I hope your children and grandchildren print out and bind your life story documented and shared here on Arbtalk. What a legacy for your family and a positive tome for international bookshelves and documentary festivals too.

You could be the Bob Ross of the tree world! 😁🌳🤭😎👍

How nice to hear from you.🦊🦋I had to google Bob Ross😄 As you know i am very passionate about life and Treelife in particular.I have an abundance of positivity for both and Arbtalk was the perfect platform all those years ago for me to express that.But it all stems from having to overcome events through my determination which is fundamental to who i am.I was doing this long before there was such a thing as the internet...Glad to have met you on my journey my friend.

There wouldn't be any shops where we were headed and i had no outdoor bits and pieces.There are no shopping malls in the Valley and if we ever needed one of those it was a long but beautiful drive down the Pacific coast highway to Los Angeles.

But there was one store that supplied the local ranches and had plenty of homeowner goods too that i enjoyed looking around.They have been around since the 1930's and would have the items i was looking for and many more besides.

I spent a lot of time in there and still found new stuff to look at each time.
