Antrim Castle? Looks like I’ve got a bit more research to add to the family genealogy. My aunt (father’s older brother’s wife) was an Antrim descendant here in the U. S. I do know the U. S. bunch was involved in the Revolutionary war, but so far have not found the first arrival here. I wonder if there is a connection. That old tree might just be old enough to know.
Thanks, Grannymar. Being a history buff, genealogist and generally far too curious and enjoying a good puzzle to solve, finding connections to things is always grand. Now to find that connection.
You were not alone before you met this tree! 🙂
Sally, can you hear me laughing! That set me up on a rainy day.
No you are NOT alone!
I can assure you!

Linda, my opening line was very much tongue in cheek. At least these days I no longer have hollows in my hollows!
You were never alone!
Probably not but until recently, I didn’t have middle age spread either!
Why should we humans have all the fun?
Do trees have fun? That one tickled my fancy!
A good laugh for the day that’s in it (Freezing, rainy, cold…….)

Nancy (comment below) is on the ball, the tree looks like it was encased in a corset for about fifty years!
Yes! A too tight corset!
Haha! Is that middle age spread . . . or a tree that dates back to the middle ages?
Overfed Nancy and showing signs f middle age and middle age spread.
I think it wears its middle age spread quite beautifully! If only mine had this much dignity! 🙂
It stood elegantly too, Brenda.
and it’s the public sphere, day in day out! it doesn’t just a pack a sad and run indoors and hide away – “here I am warts and all…”
And all the more interesting for it, Cathy!
Blimey ! .. a ‘muffin top’ tree. … 🙂
Why didn’t I think of that!
Everything ages doesn’t it. One of the great surprises of life.
It certainly does, Dianne. Pity age does not give us notice.
