Brilliant read, Chris. I love trees and marvel at them on a daily basis. I often wonder how we can just walk past a tree without being in awe of it. A never to be repeated pattern against the sky.

I have several favourite trees and some that I remember from my childhood. Charlie's climbing tree was one of these, which was in the village I grew up in and had something very magical about it. Long live the trees 😊

Thanks so much Rich and you hit on the thing that surprised me around memories scoring relatively low in the study on peoples relational values. I also have fond childhood memories, coupled now with perhaps a different sense of awe and pleasure from trees. I took a picture the other day of a large tree that is close to the garden, it has lost all its leaves but that exposes the architectural wonder of the tree, especially against a winter sky. Thanks so much for reading, commenting and sharing on too. Long live the trees indeed!
