I also grew up with mountains and seas and rivers. It's amazing how we adapt.

And both my sets of grandparents lived in the countryside with woods nearby as well. While I never became a great hiker, and have lived my whole grown-up life in towns, I'm still fond of trees, and doubt I'd ever feel quite at home where there were none at all.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-46469443276059240502016-10-19T06:01:00.120+01:002016-10-19T06:01:00.120+01:00This is wonderful, Graham, and I'm glad you no...This is wonderful, Graham, and I'm glad you not only jumped at the chance for that walk but took us along, too!<br />Ludwigsburg itself has no substantial woodland, just a woodland park and a small wooded area between our town and the next. But the nearest "proper" woods are not too far away, and where O.K. lives - well, that's at the western edge of the Black Forest.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-2990887562358288112016-10-19T05:02:07.259+01:002016-10-19T05:02:07.259+01:00I think I've said before that trees are essent...I think I've said before that trees are essential for me.
