Over summer weekends, I go and spend a few hours every day on a bench on a less used path below the castle. I read, rest, and just be.
Opposite the bench was a beautiful tree with red leaves. I loved laying under the tree’s beautiful red canopy. It was great for my head and heart. It was my favourite place to be when I wasn’t working or with Chewie.
I went to castle grounds today for the first time in a couple of months. It was a beautiful, if chilly, day and I wanted to spend some time in the quiet with my tree.
The tree is missing. All that is left is a stump. They cut down my big, beautiful friendly, red tree 😭
