Trees Gone

Went up to the Ferry to see my Dad - a delayed birthday visit as he was isolating (false alarm fortunately) on his actual birthday two weeks ago. Big news at the house was the tree in the front garden, and the matching one next door, had gone. Sadly they both had to be chopped down as they were dead. The view from my old room looks very different. Part of my life gone. We moved into the house in 1974 and the tree was already old then - I wonder how old.
