Yesterday, Heckfield place let us plant a tree in the grounds of heckfield place.

It was something that we always wanted to do. When we first looked at Heckfield place (which actually was quite by accident) as a wedding reception venue, they told us how they were trying to replant a lot of the trees that were once there.

We decided that we wanted to have a tree there, a tree that would grow, along with us, and our married life, and something we could go back to, and see, as we grew older to remind us of our wedding.

We expected to plant our tree someplace out of the way, a corner, or someplace in the woods, but Robert, the head gardener let us plant it pretty much slap bang in the middle of the lawn. If you go to Heckfield place, and look out of the patio doors at reception, towards the bottom of the lawn you will see a red maple type tree.

Thats our tree, surrounded by green grass and trees.

We planted it after our guests had left on the sunday, it was wet, raining and a bit chilly, but it was worth it, as, Heckfield place said, we are now part of Heckfield places history.
