I must admit to be slightly caught out by the arrival of this month’s Tree Following: I woke up this morning and realised that today is last day for sharing the post with the other Tree Followers (7th to 14th of every month is the time frame). I duly waited for daylight to make it’s …
This month’s Tree Following marked a departure from my usual routine: instead of rising with the sun on Sunday morning and heading straight down to Rookery Park, I stayed in bed. I thoroughly enjoyed being in bed but it did leave me with a deficit of tree photos. To solve the problem, I took the …
On a bright, sunny Sunday morning, I headed over to Rookery Park to take a look at the Avenue of Lime Trees for this month’s Tree Following. Personally, I don’t think September is necessarily the marker of the onset of autumn, but this particular morning certainly felt that way. The temperature was mild, despite the …
It’s Tree Following time again and our Avenue of Lime Trees has been busy. Those jolly little flowers that we were admiring last month have started turning into fruit.

At the crack of dawn on a rather moody looking Easter Monday, I stumbled, bleary eyed, down to Rookery Park for this month’s Tree Following (previous Tree Followings are available here, here and here). Upon reaching my destination, the park was completely deserted. Even in the early mornings, there are usually a few dog walkers …

It’s tree following time again! You may recall that I have decided to follow an avenue of Lime trees in Rookery Park, my local park. The avenue has been described as a ‘knotted perversion’ by a friend of mine. I’m not sure if I should thank him, but it’s the closest thing we’ve got to …
