Goodbye old friend

We lost a good friend the other week. A huge Camphor Laurel tree in the adjacent garden to our old unit used to butt up against our block and keep us company. It gave us shade for the bedroom in the morning, privacy from the neighbours, some sound insulation from the road and we used to lie in bed in the mornings listening to the sound of the wind rustling its leaves. It was also the home of numerous birds & animals

 

Sadly the tree is no more, chopped down just after we left to allow for a redevelopment of the adjacent property

Goodbye old friend, and thank you for your company over the last 8 years.
