anyone ever done tree hugging ?

I had a 'do' this week on my break in Wales and the tree gave me a branch in return, I gave it a trim and it will now be my walking aid,
nature helping us get about

Yes on a day out in Yorkshire..me a Cliff were hugging a tree and my eldest lad said “ are you sure I’m not adopted”

Trees are great, They live a very long time and help the environment by filtering the air like a giant catalytic converter , they give a home to many critters and feed them as well, When chopped down they begin a new life and that could be anything from a toilet seat to a grand piano,

Lungs of the World

Trees, trees, I love those trees
there’s more to them than roots and leaves,
they take the poison from the breeze
and give us the air we breathe.
They give us the air we breathe!

I don't hug trees but I do often stroke the bark. I have favourite trees too
