“The Churchill Tree: Belstone was proud of the £111 raised for the Winston Churchill Memorial Fund in 1965 – the highest per capita amount by far in the Rural District. A horse chestnut – The Churchill Tree – was planted on 6 November 1965 on the green below Taikoo. Cyril Robinson paid £1 15/- for it and led the planting ceremony, Brigadier Haycraft contributed towards the chain link fencing, and Parish Council members provided at least one stake each. The tree has always struggled but, like the great man himself who had barely started life in high office at age 37, the best may be yet to come.” My thanks for Chris Walpole from Belstone for his interesting information on this and also for leading us up to the exact spot where the said tree is planted.

Post processing - cropped to viewfinder border, toned and levels adjusted just slightly. Blur at the edges is from shooting with my dslr at f/2.8, through the argus camera viewfinder.

Christmas tree is now well and truly covered. And yes, I know, the new addition in the centre (from the Isle of Man) isn't really a star, and there is a certain irony in hanging a keyring from Israel on a christmas tree - but, if it fits the gold theme, on it goes!
