The Old Lime Tree

In July '06 one of the big, old lime trees that was in the front garden fell at about six o'clock on a Saturday evening. It fell across the driveway and blocked access to the house. Fortunately, no one was hurt and all guests were out at the time but they had to use the back driveway for a few days until we were able to cut it up and take it away. This photo shows the sad remains of the trunk of the tree. Now it is all cleared away and grass grows in place of this beautiful, majestic tree. Well, we'll just have to plant five little trees to compensate! Not in this location but somewhere on the farm or in the garden.
