Adopt a tree

Following on from the Raven Scar Blog http://teddytourteas.blogspot.com/2010/12/teddy-tours-raven-scar.html
on passing through the old quarry buildings one of them's made out of poured and shuttered concrete and had a wooden post set in which is now rotted away and has a Rowan growing out of the hole it was literally growing in nothing

with the field having several empty sheep feeding tubs scattered about
using a found collar bone I did a molehill and sheep muck mix and gave the tree a feed then a water from a stream near by

I'm up this way allot so I can take some more photo's through out the year________ Bonsai - R - Us

Seen as we usually go to Booths and the coal yard at Settle every couple of weeks, decided to have a look this afternoon. First stop the Crown at Horton in Ribblesdale

The Black Sheep Bitter was on fine form I did notice that they had Old Peculiar on draft as well ! this would need a camping trip ! Left here and in the course of science tried the Black Sheep Bitter in the next pub. Verdict the Crown wins. Right the other pub, this is the view out of the Gents window :-

Where am I ? out into the car park to catch a train hauling logs.

Carried on down the road passing another great tree which I’ve never been up to but have looked at it for over 40 years as I’ve passed.

Then on down to the adopted tree, it was so windy we decided to brew up in the old quarry building where the pillar drill is

This is todays brew up x2 drip coffees (out of the wind) and I get to try my new Coleman mug

and looking out at the adopted tree

Before going up to the tree and with a Bear sunshine !

just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
