A Facebook friend’s attendance confirmation for this very event popping up on my timeline was the inspiration for this piece.

They say you learn something new every day. ‘Pinetum’ has made me wish that wasn’t true of today…

What percentage of your time would you say you spend in heritage sites (monthly)?

I reckon four hours a fortnight if someone wants to run the maths. Bit more in the summer, less in the winter. More in Wisley than anywhere else.

Four hours a fortnight is about eight hours a month, right?

I would say that is approximately correct.

I would say it means a plantation of pine trees or other conifers planted for scientific or ornamental purposes.

YOU shut up!
