Myself, I'd rather ramble round a wood than walk along a beach, there's always so much to see, and take in the sweet smell of the earth. I frequently wonder how much pollution is extracted from the air by the trees around my place, it's like a protective shield. Cid p.s. ... loved the notion of the clock... we could set the cuckoo to pop out on an extra long arm, straight through the window to hover above Miles' head as a wake up call :) Elsie,

We should sneak out and plant a copse not far from Miles's kitchen garden. We could hide a cuckoo clock in a tree :). Elsie Cid

It is important to support charities like the Woodland Trust. They set targets and report on progress which are quite staggering. In their Tree For All campaign nearly half a million people were involved in planting over one million trees. They have protection and restoration projects of ancient woodlands with a successrate of 80%.. It is vital that we have trees so that we may breathe.

You could swap the tree for a matchstick and still have room to spare :( Miles Cid,

The media call that romantic, if it was a 'hoodie' with a spray can he would be a 'yob' Makes my blood boil.:( Miles Rod,

There's something tranquil about a wood, feels so very natural and right. Possibly because England was once a virtual forest ... Rod I like trees - we should have more of them !
