The trees around Nunhead on Tour: Part 1

Every so often (about yearly) we get to leave Nunhead for an extended period of time that we call a holiday. This blog is therefore now officially On Tour.

This year's plan was to travel up the East side of Britain, to see a tad of Scotland, and then to come back down to the Home that is all Nunhead, via a lightning visit to Hadrian's Wall.

So come with us.

This will be a stirring tale of competing cathedrals (and castles); of neolithic man, Vikings and Romans; of Pluck, squirrels and ducks. Lots of ducks. Lots and lots of ducks. We will visit a poisonous garden. We will also see one Scotsman being dismembered, and risk being insulted in very bad French. We'll discover Scotland's only Lake and try to avoid being cut off by the tide. .

Oh, and in passing we'll look at some Trees.

'Cos that is what we do.
