What a surprise....

I'm a Butch Lesbian!

This is a kauri tree:



(That one is Tane Mahuta, by the way, the largest tree in NZ. Kauris are second-only to redwoods in terms of height, but have more wood volume than any tree.)

There were lots of them around where I grew up as a kid. I'd go off into the bush for hours, with my flask of mushroom soup, sit under them, read, hug them, and make up stories about the gods of the forest, before going on an expedition up a creek (the days I remembered to wear my gum boots).

I haven't seen one of these trees in nearly 7 years. I spent 5 years in London (nearly), and just over a year back in NZ, in Wellington, which is too far south to grow these trees. And here I am in Australia... I just want to touch the bark and break off a small piece of gum, so that I can rub it and have the smell of the bush wherever I go.

And here's one for all those pirates out there:
