The Major Oak has stood at the heart of Sherwood Forest for over a thousand years.
This spring, it failed to come into leaf and experts now believe it has died.
But its story isn’t over.
Its ancient trunk & branches will continue to support life for years to come: www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

I was going to say something judgemental about lads reaching under their shirts to rub their bellies in public, but after some inner reflection, I'll come out and say I support it. Be you, be comfortable. 🤷🏻 Just wash your hands.

these are the same story.

I know it must be a privilege for all involved to collaborate with one's adult children on planning one's exit from the world, but it is still painful; it is still heavy and unpredictable.
