🏹 The 'King of Kings' is Dead 🏹
Whilst I normally spread good news stories about and famous son, it is with heavy heart on this day that I bring sad news:
The , the world's mot famous tree and my 'trysting tree' for over 800 yrs, is officially declared dead. Industrialisation, human interaction (well intentioned but detrimental) and climate change have all taken their toll on the thousand year old tree.
I, like many, have been watching with concern over the last few years but now the truth that no one believed could happen in their life time has come true.
But, have heart good people. Remember that even in their death these veteran oaks give life to the forest. Also, the sight of the natural monument degrading over decades will be remarkable in itself and so, even in death it's story will continue into the future as a national treasure in the heart of the natural wonder that is . Give heart, the legend continues...🎯
