T is for Trees

Well, who’d have thought I’d struggle so much to find you a suitable entry for letter ‘T’?!

So, I’ve plumped for trees! I love trees! I love to photograph trees! I don’t like that tree pollen sets off my hayfever!

Last year I was lucky enough to visit Woolsthorpe Manor, which is where Isaac Newton used to live, and see his apple tree! Even more thrilling was seeing the little cutting off that tree growing on the Loughborough University campus!

Always having known the Cedar of Lebanon outside the old library on the university campus, it’s only relatively recently that I’ve started to notice trees of the same type in the estate of stately homes, but also around Loughborough. Of course, now I’m trying to remember where I’ve seen them, I can’t!! Except the one in the garden of 55 Park Road, and, of course, outside the Cedars at the end of Cedar Road!

 

There are lots of other places in Loughborough to see trees, like in Queen's Park, along Granby Street and Albert Promenade, along Burton Walks, or maybe if you like water too, down at Charnwood Water?

Going out of Loughborough just a little way – why not walk there? – there are plenty of trees to be seen in The Outwoods, or in the Jubilee Woods, or even on Beacon Hill, and if you’re lucky, there might be a willow sculpture event on!

In my book ‘A-Z of Loughborough’ I did manage to talk about trees – oak trees specifically – under the letter ‘Q’ for Quercus! I see I’ve already shared this entry on the blog, only put it under ‘A’ for Acorns!
