This tree is magic - it looks however you want it to look. It is the giant tree with the door earlier in the thread, it is the frosty lakeside trees (can't wait 'til summer and we can dive into the cool dark waters) that silentandscared showed us, the gnarly roots & lofty branches that sadly me used to sit in when she was little, and Orange Blossom's wonderland.

It's a tree for everybody who needs to be safe - never any need to ask -if you want to be safe just come on up.

*hides tangerines and flasks of tea (black, black and sweet, milky, milky and sweet, peppermint, chamomile) in the hollow*

There is a bag stuffed with pillows, blankets and soft toys dangling on a rope from the lowest branch - help yourselves.
