Trees are meant to be climbed…

Climbing the oak tree at Wheatland Farm Eco Lodges“Because they’re there!”
The boys can’t see something without wanting to climb it. I do worry about broken necks (and roof slates – I’ve told them to stay off those) but on the other hand if you don’t climb a tree when you’re a kid when will you? And I so want them to remember growing up with trees and space and wayside flowers. George said the view was pretty good from high up and he wished he’d taken the camera, but I wasn’t about to go up there after him to hand it up. My favourite tree interaction is lying underneath them and looking up.
