HI Everyone! So glad you have come for a visit.
Swinging was always fun when I was a child. Playground or school swings were fun but nothing like the one at my Nana's house.My Grandparents had a huge old oak tree in their orchard. From one of the high strong branches hung a course rope swing with a weathered wooden seat. The tree was back in the orchard beyond the garden fence. The perfect escape when a family gathering was no longer interesting for a child. Ferns and shrubs circled the area. It was a cool and private place to go. I wonder who originally hung the swing because that was a massive oak tree! After we had grown up my sister was married there,
Hope you have a wonderful and creative day!
Much love as always,
Louise.
