Be well too in 2022! All good things to you and your family. Thank you so much for a year of inspiration and wit and positivity. We too have an ash tree that will be cut down in the next few weeks. Husband has reframed it and is sooo excited about the many years of woodworking and crafting ahead 🙏💕
Another great post Charlie. So many thought provoking and tear jerking but important words you’ve written. Thank you. This one made me laugh! Merry Christmas to you all from us all xxx
We too lost a huge and much loved tree this year. A willow which provided shade, shape and focus to the garden, where children climbed , woodpeckers drilled and squirrels and birds made homes. Its loss has been unsettling. Wishing you and yours peace at Christmas .
It’s been a privilege to read your blog this year. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences and your wonderful writing with all your readers. Hoping you and the whole family have a joyful, if quieter than anticipated, Christmas and every best wish for the new year. X
Bless you Charlie. Thank you for the many smiles. You can get through this. A very MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and all your family and Oxford friends. With love and positive thoughts for 2022.
That's uncanny. We've just watched our ash trees come down for the same reason. And we're going to try to get the kids to watch the Bond movie with us too! Wishing you and the family a happy and peaceful Christmas. Thanks for all your words of wisdom and openness in 2021 - always inspiring and thought-provoking xx
Rats....missed the obvious connection to The Ashes in my blog! You have made it for me and, like the tree, I think it is already all over for the English team... So depressing to see how bad we are at cricket... stay well Martin. xxx
We once had a beech tree taken down. When the guys came to do it, it was blowing a gale, almost a storm. Watching them work was truly something to behold. Certainly wasn’t a job for the faint hearted. Absolute respect. With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year, Charlie.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
