Wow, the giant tree was felled! I wish I was home to see it crash to the ground (and not on any buildings).
Martin stands by the trunk for scale.
It was a whopper of a tree and provided lots of shade for grazing animals in its day. Looks like there will not be a shortage of wood for winter bonfires. I think I’ll also get a bit of firewood from it, and a bunch of mushroom logs as well – think of it as a kinder, gentler version of the Giving Tree.
The space around the tree – compare to yesterday’s post to see the last known photograph of the tree.!
