We were on a tight schedule and didn't make it up to your part of England. I would absolutely have loved to have given Basil a pat in person!<br /><br />Hope your mum is doing well, and it's lovely to be back, too.<br /><br />Wags and woofs to Basil!ICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-2478270999627698432009-07-02T09:13:04.638-04:002009-07-02T09:13:04.638-04:00Hi Ocean Girl!

I think some of those are the oldest trees on earth.ICQBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634452093934367498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-1405220143215129262009-07-02T08:53:42.454-04:002009-07-02T08:53:42.454-04:00Just love that door!!!

Mum and Dad had a yew tree growing at the bottom of the garden... a really lovely tree and absolutely massive. Where Mum lives now she also has another yew growing in this garden... not so big but equally as gorgeous!<br />Yew seems to follow Mum wherever she lives.. wonder if this has any sort of a meaning to it???<br />Lovely to have you back!<br />Love Jane and Many Woofs from Basil xxxxaromatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447370086320779186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4176800410822139543.post-65058504741240957582009-07-02T07:58:23.610-04:002009-07-02T07:58:23.610-04:00Isn't yew a conifer type tree that looks like ...Isn't yew a conifer type tree that looks like a bush?<br /><br />Can't imagine that it can grow so old and so big to be like in the picture. <br /><br />And what an amazing point, what we thought was movie inspired was actually real life that inspired movies.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399300464457820101noreply@blogger.com
