Festival of Trees
Today is the day of the Save the Children Festival of Trees. For eighteen years, in London, trees are made and donated by companies and designers: this one is by Thomas Pink. These were on show in Coutts in the Strand for a while and they will be auctioned at a gala fundraising event tonight. While it is too late to see them live, you can still see all the trees online here.

..and for a second I really thought that was a full sized meryground with giants' ties.
Excellent.
Brilliant idea and i've not heard of this happening before, it's news to me. Good to have a personal memory of Coutts so thanks for that. Interesting, though, some of the interpretations of the word 'tree'! I'd have thought, and i have lots of respect for Al Fayed and support his Dodi/Diana quest to the end, but that he'd have wanted to display his command of the English language. A castle? How is that a tree? I'd be very strict if i was running it, "it MUST be a tree, however you want to present it." Yes, i'd be stalking up and down, perhaps, with long flowing cloak, high heels and a whip... oh sorry did i say that out loud? lol
Your link was fascinating! And for such a good cause.
This one was one of the best!
Absolutely beautiful picture.
