It was still upright and all there but looked a damnsight less healthy than the top photo the last time I saw it - and it's in a hollow that's often filled with old beer cans and the remains of fires. Let's put that trip in our early spring sunbeam diaries so we can see it before somebody nicks it for their rockery.Zoot Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943863429085186012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-25358831507902019802011-01-25T12:13:25.563+00:002011-01-25T12:13:25.563+00:00Hurrah!Hurrah!The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.com
