climb a tree

My friend Stan has recently started tree-climbing, after getting over the own-mortality-over-awareness issues that prevented me from climbing trees as a child. He has promised to take me to a tree he’s found which he considers the most excellent climbing tree in Bangor. We’re going to take a flask of tea up there with us. Hopefully we’ll be able to go before the end of the weekend…but Welsh weather…one never knows!

I was never a tree-climbing child. I preferred to sit in the roots of them, making up stories about whatever lived in the hollows of the trunk. I think I missed out on something. I will climb a tree this year.
