Tomorrow’s Open Country with @carolynquinncq was a Radio Times choice. It’s all about Felixstowe and how the huge Port influences the area… including entrepreneurs using old shipping containers as retail outlets on ‘Beach Street’. And a brief parody of the shipping forecast…

We spend a leisurely three hours finding some of the named trees in Savanake and I talk through my ancient tree pilgrimage my motivations how wonderful ancient trees are, some of the threats to them and the need for greater protection. It is a lovely walk with two great people.
