Me & 'my' Silver Birch

I heard today that the charity that I had done my Branching Out Project & John Muir Award - New Caledonian Woodlands was no more - all the staff made redundant. Felt so sad as this had helped me thru the dark times just after my brother had passed away in 2012.

This a tree that I visit regularly as a kind of comfort, so big hug today of the silver birch in the sunshine in memory of Jim but also to the team at New Caledonian Woodlands that got me back out volunteering & learning in nature.
