The four most beautiful words in the English language...I told you so!
When we moved in here 5 years ago there was an amazing lawn, apparently called 'The Golf Course' by the locals, but not a tree in sight. We've planted at least 30 and we haven't finished yet.
It feels good to plant trees and watch them grow, doesn't it? Here the eucalyptus throw tons of seed in a boom or bust cycle, so we get tons of self seeded trees too which is a buzz. I select the good ones to put tree guards around against the rabbits.
And yes, a wry smile when we are right is also quite a good one.
