Major Oak

[cosmolinguist]

Aw I'm so sad to hear about Major Oak.

Going to see it (and the rest of Sherwood Forest), in 2005, on a random trip to the Robin Hood Festival that my new friends (thanks to LiveJournal of course) and I just found out existed the day before, was one of my first little adventures when I came to England.

If I was brave enough to look for them and submit myself to the cringe, I'm sure I have at least one entry here about the trip.

Major Oak was the kind of tree I felt lucky to be in the presence of. I think about it pretty often even now.

It is a very sad thing. I'm glad you got to see it.

I love old trees, especially the pre Christian yews in churchyards in Wales

Oh, no! This makes me sad, especially as a former Nottinghamite. :( Glad you got to pay it a visit.
