Sycamore Gap tree in Northumberland Felled

[Pixel]

A 16 yr old and a 60 something yr old allegedly involved.. the mind boggles.. what could be the motive?

Maybe an attempt to make a point that a proposal of marriage to some unsuspecting individual of marital interest did not work out well...?

Clearly a failure to apreciate other folks appreciation of something very simple and symbolic outside their own interest...

 

I'm getting old but this is where we are all going eventually!

Sad..
