I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

“Prumnopitys is a genus of conifers belonging to the podocarp family Podocarpaceae.”

Having taken a photo of the nameplate beneath the tree, I simply had to look it up.  With such a magnificent name, it had to be something special, didn’t it? 

In spite of its exotic heritage, it looked perfectly happy in deepest, darkest Buckinghamshire, too.
