When I work from home, I look out on a huge chestnut tree. We think it must be over 150 years old. It’s so majestic in its maturity. Many times the tree has looked diseased and dying, and we eventually called a tree surgeon to see if it was safe. The verdict was the tree was dying and should be cut down. But when they came to take it down, the tree had sprung into life and was perfect again. Over the past ten years I have never seen such a sturdy and beautiful tree. It’s covered with sweet chestnuts that we enjoy a lot, along with the squirrels. We roast the chestnuts on an open fire in the winter months.
