How to recognise different types of trees from quite a long way away


On this morning (13th November, 2011), shortly after 11 o'clock, photography struck this collection of trees in Bedgebury. Sudden, violent photography.....I saw the advertisment for the pinetum in the bolour suppliment in the paper. "You mean the colour suppliment", yes im sorry i cant say the letter B..."C"...Yes, well.

The day started with me feeling a little peckish so i thought to myself, "A little fermented curd will do the trick", so my girlfriend curtailed her propolsion-of-the-motor-vehicle activities, so i sallied forth, and infiltrated the road-side place of perveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles (i went to buy some cheese, i definately was not complaining about the drum-and-base player as i am one who delights in all manifestations of the terpsichorean muse).

When we finally got to the pinetum we found our first tree....No.1: The Larch (i think that may be the end of the monty-python-related references.....) and photographed and then we found another 9,999 other trees and kept getting lost so we kept seeing No.1: The Larch....

....after the pinetum we then headed to our favourite pub-in-the-middle-of-nowhere (The swan, Wittersham) where i par-took of some double-vision cider (really gets the old man hammered rather quickly) and a duck-in-pancakes inspired pizza (of which neither of us finished).

...we then took part in our bi-weekly quiz at the kings head pub (deal, kent) and didnt win again but we were "...and now for something completely different" and we found that Jimmy Carter (ex-U.S. president) farmed peanuts and that Karoake was invented in Japan...I dont think there's a punch-line scheduled is there?
