One of the most astonishing sights I've seen (and failed to photograph - I had no camera with
me on the day) was an entire hillside in the Himalayas filled with magnolias in bloom. In London
we were once given a small cutting from a friend's magnolia tree, which flourished beautifully in
our east-facing garden. When we moved, just a few streets away, we missed our gorgeous
magnolia, but planted an Indian bean tree (Catalpa) in our small west-facing patio garden. It
eventually became a beautiful tree with large thick leaves that provided summer shade almost
over the entire patio. It was joined in our later years in London by 'Brian', a silver birch so called
because its wooden support structure, before it could stand unaided, reminded us of the
ultimate scene from Monty Python's 'Life of Brian.' Now in Suffolk we have a beautiful silver
birch and an embryo catalpa (from a cutting), but sadly no magnolia as yet. This one, spotted
in Eye growing out of a crack in the concrete, was a nice reminder of our 'lost' tree.
