Sycamore gap tree felled by vandals

I live in hope Margot. I think your words are echoed by decent people world wide.

 

I understand what they're saying but I think they're wrong in this instance

It was a kind gesture by someone who went to a lot of trouble and expense to place it there. But the NT are a law unto themselves and would want to do this, if at all.
Not sure tbh if it would have survived in that location. It is so wind swept, hence why only the one famous sycamore was there. No other trees around there.

I do see your point N , my wife feels exactly the same.
