A good day for blowing the cobwebs away!<br /><br />Helen - when the avenue was planted there wasn't a road there. I don't think the road is going to be widened but there's fears that the trees may drop limbs into the road. Quite a few of the trees have had large limbs removed to prevent this. I love beech trees - so stately.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25732035089930234212011-02-15T02:47:02.721+00:002011-02-15T02:47:02.721+00:00Perfect outing.

By coincidence, my word verification word is "hasta" -- la vista, baby?<br /><br />By another coincidence, I was taking pictures of beeches today. They're among my favourite trees.

Glad they are planting a new avenue, we may not get to see it in its mature glory (though who knows, another 85th birthday trip?) but at least future generations will. So heartening that there is still some planning for the future tree-wise. Hornebams chosen because more disease resistant?Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.com
