Happy Birthday mam !

My favourite pine tree, it's so old and grizzled, I have tripped over its roots and played with its pine cones when I was a little girl and it's just always been there stood in the corner of the graveyard as I have visited my brothers and now my mam and dads resting place. It's mams birthday today, she would have been 97 had she still been with us. This tree is always a gentle reminder of where she is now.

This tree is so distinct that it looks like a character from Lord of the Rings.
