So where you ask is this fantastic Monkey Puzzle in the profile picture? It is on Gill Bank Farm, a @nationaltrust farm in Eskdale, with a backdrop of the ridges leading up to Scafell. A tree to celebrate!
Did you know that, unlike most conifers, Monkey Puzzles can be coppiced?

A bit frosty in Coniston this morning, but maybe it’s warmer under that oak tree? @HillShepherd3 @LakesTrees @WoodlandTrust

@leeinthelakes I aim to be the sad old git drinking brown beer in the run down Twitter Arms. Sitting in the corner with me coat on and the shopping under the table. Used to be a decent boozer this...

Chatting to a resident, discussing the beauty of some birch trees, he said he had heard birch trees in autumn referred to as ‘cornflake trees’.
Looking at the colour and form of the leaves on the trees and on the ground, I feel this is a very apt name, and it is giving me joy!

A lovely ancient crack willow tree near Aughton, East Yorkshire. #thicktrunktuesday @WoodlandTrust #treeinventory

The height of autumn in Grasmere.

@leeinthelakes I’m impressed with what they’ve achieved hopefully more projects like this will happen in Cumbria

[James Rebanks @herdyshepherd1]

I try never to promote commercial stuff… and keep the blag to a minimum

But this would be an amazing Christmas present - the £ pays for amazing artisans to make the beautiful things, some goes back to the farmers, and it’s just special to have one

Thank you @MZebBenjamin

Day 8 of a leaf a day: to me this rowan looks like the embers of a campfire at the end of the night. Dark, warm, cosy. I love it 😍 🔥 #LeafRelief

@sara_jayne67 @godzillagranny I was 16 when I went camping with three other friends for two weeks in Paignton. When we were 18 the same 4 travelled overland to Greece for four weeks. I celebrated my 70th Birthday recently and two of those friends were with me. Sadly one died a few years ago. Friends for life.

Absolutely devastating news from #CoquetIsland as ALL chicks from 1,964 nests have been wiped out by #AvianInfluenza and even more bad news likely to come out soon for Roseate Terns 😱😢
