Bristlecone moment
















It's easy turning 54, when your family and friends treat you to a birthday picnic amongst the trees at an arboretum and cover the picnic rug with delicious treats to eat and drink and the weather pitches in as well with evening warmth and still air. There was even the opportunity to do a good deed by lending a helping hand to a motorist with a blown out tyre and a missing jack.
Walking off the mountains of food afterwards and exploring the dappled 'rooms' of the arboretum revealed the presence of a bristlecone pine tree!
How young that made me feel!
