I’m off to bed shortly
Lots of psychological given last night.
My head needs calm
Hopefully it will be an eristic free day
We shall see…
I got home in light rain. Sitting on the kitchen wall was a pot with three oak saplings in it
No note
No message,
Just three baby oak trees.
I love gifts like this
According to Anthea on London Road., the village has no oak trees
It has now
I did look for acorns but they were already saplings - hundreds this year x
ReplyDeleteHow good is that
DeleteThe squirrels are running around looking for them x 🐿🍂
DeleteWhat a charming gift. Enjoy a relaxing day John, re-charge your batteries.
ReplyDeleteSheer magic. What a joy to be a magic magnet. Far superior to being a recipient of bin bags. And now the responsibility of deciding where to plant the baby oaks and give them Trelawyned immortality!
ReplyDeleteI will asked Helen , the TCA Nature expert
DeleteA gift for posterity. Wonderful
ReplyDeleteHappiness is where old men plant trees , the shade of which they will never sit in
DeleteTake care where you plant those baby oak trees. Think ahead thirty or forty years. They will need room or they will either struggle to grow or find themselves being chopped down.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will take advice from Helen the TCA nature expert
DeleteWhat a wonderful word - a new one to me. Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt seems popular here
DeleteNow to find them a suitable home.
ReplyDeleteYes and I need to think of how to protect them
DeleteYou might try keeping them in the pot for another year or two. Here they use tubes like these: https://www.forestry-suppliers.com/p/17024/16231/protex-pro/gro-solid-tube-tree-protectors
DeleteI had to look up what an eristic free day was (I was guessing it must be something to do with your bladder problems)...
ReplyDeleteWrong lol
DeleteI too, had to google eristic. I'll try to use it and bamboozle someone else! What a nice problem to have, where to plant the oak saplings. You do attract kind gestures, John. Sleep well and awake refreshed. xx
ReplyDeleteThe constant arguing is getting me a little down non of us need constant conflict x
DeleteSomeone once told me, the mighty oak tree was once a little nut like me. The trees may outlive all of us.

ReplyDeleteWhat a charming gift John. I was once given some sycamore saplings and David and I planted them on the farm. Sadly none of them lived. Do read up on how and where to plant them - I hope they thrive - then Trelawnyd will have oaks for hundreds of years. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for that advice pat x
DeleteAnother bit of magic in your life. Eristic, huh? Who knew you'd be adding to my vocabulary (without swearing)!
ReplyDeleteAlways a positive x
DeleteHow lovely to be given gifts of kindness. Maybe jealous anonymous could suggest a suitable place to plant them! GG
ReplyDeletea lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteThat kitchen wall has seen many such gifts over the years
Delete"Might oaks from little acorns grow."
ReplyDeleteI do hope so
DeleteSo lovely.
ReplyDelete🌳🪴🥜
DeleteHow lovely.
ReplyDeleteA donation for our community orchard
DeleteI love this! PS: I had to look up eristic. Thanks for the new word.
ReplyDeleteI’m used to it
DeleteWhat a lovely surprise gift for you and the future residents of Trelawnyd!
ReplyDeleteSweet, calm dreams.
Hugs!
I have slept long and hard today
DeleteIf we didn't cut down our oak and sycamore seedlings we'd have no garden!
ReplyDeleteThe village is surrounded and filled mostly with ash and the dieback has been devastating
DeleteWe need more oak trees
What a lovely gift, for you and the village! May the oaks grow true, strong, and tall.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a calm, sound & restful sleep.
I’ve just fallen asleep on the sofa for 2 hours, missed The Archers
DeleteWhat an interesting gift. Where will you plant them?
ReplyDeleteThe TCA HAS A COMMUNITY orchard just outside the village, there is already one oak planted there, perhaps there, perhaps the churchyard
DeleteEnjoy watching them grow!
ReplyDeleteHappiness is where old men plant trees , the shade of which they will never sit in
DeleteThe oak tree is a sturdy fast growing hard wood tree. 3 trees is a very nice gift. Each tree will require a good size space as they do grow tall and wide. The squirrels are going to love the acorns.
ReplyDeleteI’ve said before we have a community orchard we could plant one and perhaps in the graveyard where all the ash trees have fallen
DeleteWe have an oak tree here whose grandmother belonged to my great grandmother. Love them so much.
ReplyDeleteOops, Tina in West Oz here.
DeleteYou (and Google) have taught me a new word today. Eristic. Atsa good one!
ReplyDeleteWe have one huge Oak tree that we named 'The Royal Oak' after The Queens Jubilee. It is about 200 years old, and is the perfect climbing tree; although I have never tried.
ReplyDeleteThe oak is probably my favourite tree. What a lovely idea and I hope they thrive.
ReplyDeleteWow. Splendid. I so love oaks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived in the Midwest I often gathered acorns hoping to get them to sprout that I would plants trees that I would no live to see.
