Famous Trees

I'm not sure how many famous trees there are in the world but my wife and I had our pictures taken with two of them this week. Both are looking rather decrepit (watch it!) but have some claim at least to antiquity and fame. The first is the apple tree in the orchard at Woolsthorpe Manor which has some claim to have helped Newton thinking about gravity. (The original tree did go down but a new one grew in its place). The second is the Major oak in Sherwood Forest, which appears to be over a thousand years old so was around in Robin Hood's day.

Holiday

We've been away this week as a family in Muston near Grantham on the borders of  Leicestershire and Lincoln. We got to see Grantham itself, where Isaac Newton went to school and the farm (Woolsthorpe Manor) where he was born and had some of his great ideas. We also got to see a bit of Sherwood Forest, a windmill in Tuxford (briefly) and the lovely mediaeval town of Stamford (not pictured).
