    My cool new tree seat - long awaited. The weeping birch tree the seat is under is 28 years old. Loving it!

      Do you ever give it a good scrub? That trunk would come up beautifully if you did :)

      Just a thought ...

        Until we cleared under the tree to put in the seat the truck was almost invisible with plants obscuring it from view. I don't want to stress it out by giving it too much attention :)

        However, it won't notice ... but I guarantee that you will :)

        Really nice feature. I'd have one myself if I had a suitable tree!

        The newly scrubbed bark on the weeping birch gleams in the evening sun.

          Thanks for the tip Kristen - I would never have thought of scrubbing it.

          You've planted the seed of an evil idea in my head, involving scrubbing every other silver birch in a plantation, just to worry the Forestry Commision:snork:
