Wide Angle Spring

This little house is opposite mine and is one of the oldest in Blackheath.

My lovely neighbour does nothing to the garden and each year the azaleas spill over the front fence and are a picture.

I'm always puzzled and amused by the tree which has been planted in between the front gate and the front door.
Somebody told me it's a sequoia.  If so, in a hundred years you won't see the house from the street.

I must ask my neighbour the story.
I can't for the life of me think why I haven't before:))
