@LukeEdwardsTele Oh, come on! Get a grip! Try to establish some sense of proportion. This confected outrage and anger is truly unseemly.
You are really much more useful and interesting when you stick to football. Although, there also, I do occasionally have my doubts.

@Stephencgill Much like gazing at the stars, looking at a fine old tree reminds you of your significance within the universe.

[David Storer @DavidStorer3]

@Stephencgill You are most welcome. It is a truly beautiful 'thing'. It is astonishing to think about all the human drama, the large and the little lives, that that tree has 'witnessed' or, at least, stood beside and been within.

The Wilmington Yew, an estimated 1600 years old, is one of the trees on England's shortlist for #TreeOfTheYear.

Mayor of Bogotá, @ClaudiaLopez, is pushing forward a bold proposal to improve car-free mobility by expanding bike lanes. The ultimate goal? Have 50% of total trips made on bikes or other micromobility alternatives. https://t.co/IPWsHtaeEc

@chileshevk I have furnished my house ... and very well, too ... with products made of wood and wrought iron. But nothing coloured 'white' in my house was made in Zambia ... nor anywhere close.
