A Bird’s Eye View of Undying Love
Written by Jimmy
We liked this one. A little article in Saturday’s Times about Wotton-under-Edge, where a farmer planted a beautiful heart shape in memory of his wife. The Times quotes Winston Howes, now 70: “I came up with the idea of creating a heart in the clearing of the field after Janet died. It was a flash of inspiration and I planted several thousand oak trees. Once it was completed we put a seat in the field overlooking the hill near where she used to live.”
On Valentine’s Day, I tend to get around to ordering a dozen flowers. A thousand trees? I need improvement.
While I ponder on various paths to enlightenment, I can at least offer three nice love songs:
3. I Can’t Make you Love Me, Bonnie Raitt (nice cover by Bon Iver):
2. You Do Something to Me, Paul Weller (live on Jools):
1. Into My Arms, Nick Cave (the greatest love song from the most unlikely source – nice live version from the song-writer’s circle):
