This Birch tree blew down in spring 2020 in a field belonging to Whernside Manor and at the time it felt profound. Wind is funnelled at high speed round the back of this building and I guess the tree was rotten inside resulting its dramatic fall. An interesting fact is that lambs with their mothers in lambing time will not thrive in this field. We used to have free use of this field when the last owners were here, but gave up doing so after so many problems. The same can be said for another field, one that we own that borders the property at one corner. We gave up feeding the sheep in winter in that corner as they started to waste away and loose weight. Once we started to feed them a short distance away they recovered.
Not quite as pretty a view as the front, in fact a different face altogether and the very picture of menace and decay. It wont look this way for long given the wealthy honeymoon couple have plans, big plans. It will be nice to look back on this photo some day. I hesitate to say this but there is some very strange white mists on the left half way down the photo. It appears to be moving over a fence and from one field to another. Well it isnt a leaf..lol
You'll have to keep us updated on what the couple is up to. I'm curious what their big plans are.
