Bedgebury Pinetum: Stoic Legacies
What is a Pinetum? It's an arboretum that focuses on conifers. A change of plan saw me heading out to Bedgebury Pinetum where I am inspired, yet again, by nature to question my place in life and how I should be reacting, and acting on this glorious planet. Join me as I discover rare trees, giant redwoods, a glorious pond and trees with knobbly knees! Thoughts and reflections on stoicism, opinions and hope. Hope in a future where everyone can share what they are feeling.
