loved the pix of the redbud effect! (less happy is the escaped Prunus calleryana effect in those hollers and ridges.) if i had known you were on the roam i would have encouraged you to visit plant geek friends along the way, especially in the blue ridge. our daughter lives down there and almost went out of her mind experiencing her first piedmont spring — so different from the cold and late maritime springs of our neighborhood.
all best,

While both have incommensurate natural beauty, the funny thing I miss the most from the US is wooden structures such as the mill and the fence. Here termites rapidly devour anything wooden unless the wood is from one of a few species that are resistant.
