Fascinated by the idea one little fragment of a vanished landscape.
As CS Lewis once wrote, there's an incredible fascination in “the far-borne echo, the last surviving trace, the tantalizing glimpse, the veiled presence."
I grew up in Kent, and there are many trees I know there; I’m sure some will surface here. Canterbury, where I imagine you will go, is great for Baobab planes, like this one up the road in Maidstone https://thestreettree.substack.com/p/9-turkey-mill-baobab
Enjoyed this.

Thanks Robert, of CS Lewis's array of descriptions, I think 'tantalising glimpse' sums up this old tree.
You're very welcome.
Visiting England next year and looking forward to an arboreal pilgrimage or two.
Have you covered any trees in Kent, specifically trees on the pilgrims' way?

Lovely to see this beauty in my area 🥰
Worth a visit at any time of year!
