Not Such A Villain

To hear some wildlife and conservation types talk you would think that it is our duty to expunge the silver birch tree from our countryside. The curl of the lip as they pronounce the word "scrub" is proof of a controlling attitude to the countryside and an inability to value the very absence of human decisions.

This tree near Lenny Hill becomes like spun gold in sunny early mornings in autumn.
