Mass tree Hug Sun 11 March











It was a perfect day for a tree hug and at least 20 people turned out including the MP for Basildon, Angela Smith, David Wright (commissions east), Vin Harrop, LLisa Horner, Richard Taylor, Jack Gardner, Joe Bonfield, Thomas + Ellie Morley, Billy + Chloe Bonfield, Charlie Coe + another family with 5 children who should be appearing in tomorrow's (Tues 13) Echo. We focused our initial hugs - for the Echo photo opportunity - on the tree directly behind the cafe, but then ventured further afield, David having spied a lovely fat tree to get to grips with. Richard + jack then led us into the coppice behind the mini-lake to show us their favourite trees to hug. I reckon the trees loved it.

Great event, Vin was a good sport asking everyone to hug a tree, so was andrea admitting that she was a tree hugging hippy. And Angela Smith was great too - and a nice lady.
Great event - I enjoyed it.
