Old Retainer Of Shireoaks Hall
This very old beech tree that stands in the corner of Shireoaks Park has lost another large branch this winter. A barn owl lives within its branches so I hope it is not in the one that has been lost. I visit this 'Old Retainer' from time to time. I know it is coming to the end of its life but it is holding tightly onto many buds waiting for spring to arrive. A Flickr post of mine from 2015 entitled 'Old Retainer' along with a poem is my highest ever viewed photo.
