That must be a spectacular site. Does it mind the moss overcoat?

It was winter when we bought the house - so that's all we saw of the tree...we had no idea what species it was!

Wow, I wonder how old it is?

We have no idea...but I've seen photos of the house around 100 years ago and it wasn't there! lol! I think it might have been planted in the sixties but that's just a guess! :))
