I've just climbed a tree.

[Buoyant Babe]

A few weeks ago I was reading this on the BBC website. It struck a nostalgic chord with me and I realised that I haven't climbed a tree in donkey's years.
Now, when I was young, I used to love climbing trees. Growing up with a bunch of lads as playmates meant that I was more of a tomboy than most girlies I knew, and tree climbing was part of everyday play.

I've just been out for my evening walk across the hills at the back of my house, and on the way home I just couldn't resist the urge to climb a tree. So I did. Granted it was a very small tree, and I only got halfway up it on account of being inappropriately shod in my Merrell sandals, but it still felt good

I want to do it again. I think I'll go out tree-hunting this weekend

The things you get up to when you're told you cant dive for a while

A bit like me, I have often been told I should go back to the trees where I belong.

I think these are generally called saplings.

It was probably someone's privet hedge.

In the 'Country Park' near my house, there is a rather large tree that Master Scubee likes to climb. Each time we are there, i resist temptation to climb it. Next time, i think i will give in
