OH I Knew there was a story there! Hadrian’s wall — and such a clearly iconic tree. How beautiful.

I also immediately thought “England”. Now isn’t that wild? Why should I think England?? What about it makes that happen??? (I didn’t even notice the rocks/wall. It was simply the tree that did it. Or maybe a subliminal landscape effect also. Curious.) Also very powerful, this pic. I can imagine the area filled with all kinds of energy. True?

I’m not sure why, Carin, but it doesn’t look like a Canadian tree, does it? Certainly not a Newfoundland or Labrador tree anyway.

It seems like a tree from an Alison Uttley story, one that has witnessed a lot of history.

Did you climb it?

No, I guess I’m getting old because it didn’t occur to me to climb it.

Of course, I had to google “Alison Uttley tree” to see what came up but I didn’t find any like that. I did find out that she wrote far more books than I realized and also that the historical aspects of A Traveller in Time were based on the real life Babington plot to save Mary Queen of Scots. Remember we were talking about falling in love with a historical personage? I wonder if she fell in love with Anthony Babington.

I knew that the Babington plot was real. The A. Uttley story I was thinking of is called The Key to the Tree, I think, from “Magic In My Pocket”.

Of course you did! My British history is full of holes. I do remember Magic in my Pocket but not that specific story. Do you still have it?

Yes, I have it – just re-read it this minute after many years! It’s called “The Keys to the Trees” (plural – but the oak is most impressive. Is it an oak in your photo?) I was going to attach an illustration, but I guess I can’t here. Facebook…

My copy of the book is falling apart. I thought you had the better copy – ?

“Magic In My Pocket” is a compilation of stories from other books of hers. I remember wondering about all those other books, and how to get them…
