One chainsaw too short (conclusion to the oak tree)

I just love this oak tree!

This tree is on my regular walk with the dog. It is a mature, healthy English oak that is probably around 200 years old - maybe older. You often hear birds such as blackbirds and song thrushes singing from its branches. It is...
