L-R Mr. Morley (agent). HRH Queen Mary. The 6th. Earl Spencer. Mr. J Barrie (Forester).
King George V also planted an oak tree the same day with The Earl, Mr. Morley and Mr. Barrie.

Day 5 in bed, which is unheard of for me, but it does mean I am home alone watching #StrictlyComeDancing Final, and it is such a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant show. So much inspiration & warmth. ❤️
