Two weeks until my visit to #oxfordshire, #gloucestershire, #cotswolds where I will follow in the footsteps of my mother who visited in the 1980s. I'll try to find exactly where she placed her camera for a couple of relevant photos. I've learned that one such scene no longer exists. The "poem tree" died a natural death and has been replaced by a memorial marker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Poem_Tree
