A Very Special 1st Birthday Present
This is Julian...Here's Julian, he's an old friend of mine, and a pseudo-Uncle to the lads...
He's the creator of the blog known as "The Perambulations of Barkfoot" which chronicles his day to day adventures. and is written in his usual crazy style.
See the full story of the planting of the tree on his blog here: barkfoot
Julian decided to do something very special for the lads first birthday which is on the 23rd June.
He decided to plant an Ash tree which will hopefully be left alone by any developers and will grow, thrive and could even provide a place for the lads to climb later in life.
The Ash Tree
Julian describes it as a Common Ash. He grew it from seed!
Additional goodies!
Julian also carved their name in a plaque and hand-carved a memento to go along with the tree...
He's going to be a great Uncle to the lads...I just hope he can keep up with them!!

I checked on the tree recently and unfortuneatly it has suffered a rabbit attack! Thankfully they haven't stripped the bark all the way around and it still appears healthy enough. It has now been rabbit proofed and the plaque put in place, so fingers crossed no more mini disasters....
Thanks for being so vigilant with it...I think the boys might have a couple more years to go before they're big enough to come on a mini-adventure to where the tree is so they can take a look at it.
