This year has been strange and difficult in many ways and I, finding one day acorns lying on the ground under some magnificent oak trees, decided that I was going to fulfil a lifelong ambition to grow an oak tree.

I don’t live on a place where there is room for an oak tree, but maybe I will plant one here anyway. I planted eleven acorns in small pots and ten of them have sprouted, so I have a tiny oak forest. Yay for that! I buried my Dad this year, welcomed a grandson into the world and now I have grown some oak trees. Life goes on.
