awwww what a lovely tradition! a true family tree!
btw, how are your things going?

[badly_knitted]

Thank you. The idea didn't come out as well as I would have liked, I really needed more words, but I liked the idea.

I'm battling on. Mum might be home early next week, so there's a lot to do.

I so love this

[badly_knitted]

Thank you.

I think it would have benefitted from more words, but then it wouldn't have been a drabble...

[kul_breez]

oooh.... sequel???

[badly_knitted]

I don't know, things are really busy right now getting ready for mum coming home from the hospital, I don't know if I'd have the time, never mind the inspiration. I'm worn to a frazzle right now and there's so much to get done over the weekend.

Maybe one day I'll expand it into a fic, but don't hold your breath.

That's sweet!

[badly_knitted]

Thank you.

It's not as good as it was in my head though, the word count was too restricting.

This is such a lovely idea. A real family tree, one that would grow with the family who were taking care of it...yes, having something like this would be a wonderful way to remember your loved ones.

Even better if it produced fruit and if caring for it produced more little trees... I'm thinking they might be like mangroves, lots of trunks popping up, all from the same root system, so you end up with sort of a family copse after a few generations.

Thank you.

Grrrrrrr yes we could never find that darn tree. I felt like I was in Boeshane today playing in the dusty dirt. My shoes look worse than when we traipsed through Brecon Beacons.

Sweet drabble.

LOL! They should have had a map with the tree clearly maked and a sign saying 'This is the tree you're looking for'.

Thank you.
