Sycamore Gap at Hadrian's Wall

Hello Friends.

By now, many of you will have seen the devastating news about the three hundred year old tree  at Sycamore Gap on Hadrian's Wall.  

For those who have not heard, please read this 

This is what I have just written on Facebook.

I was never fortunate enough to visit and see this tree in person. However, like so many people this morning I am filled with a variety of emotions over the wanton destruction of this beautiful, natural and living landmark. In recent minutes these emotions of anger, dismay, disbelief, and more are being replaced by an overriding thought. What if we all channel these emotions that we are feeling over one single tree and focus them on our one precious planet? We are just as guilty as the 16 year old boy who has been charged with vandalism against the single tree. We are just as guilty, but on a much larger scale, for we are doing exactly the same thing. to our own beautiful planet. Think about it.

Until next time
Stay safe, stay well
