This oak tree, enormously diminished by rampant ivy, has no remaining force. It has suffered this diminishing state for several years. Whilst I don't know who owns this land, it's 10 minutes walk from V. This has been a magnificent tree in its day...and I'm saddened that such a once splendid oak can only degrade. Another victim of neglect.
You're so right about this but the land belongs to M. Nicholas and he's in no fit state to do anything about this poor tree... it's probably too late anyway.
Maybe our neck of the woods needs a ‘cause'...
