You are right , if only they could talk . A guy in the village had a nice porch built with oak . I asked him where he got the oak from . It turns out it’s French oak !!! In fact most of the oak we now use in building is from France (spit) . What the f@ck is happening to the country, when we can’t even source decent English oak anymore? Na I'm all for chopping down the frogs trees and keeping our own were they belong 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 18,531 Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 This Half dead Old Oak has looked the same all my life on the bank of the river. Locals call it the Shag Tree with all the Cormorant and Shags that sit in the dead branches. Cheers Arry 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
