Dedicated Winston Howes, 70, spent a week planting each oak sapling after his wife of 33 years Janet died suddenly 17 years ago. He laid out the fledgling trees in a six-acre field but left a perfect heart shape in the middle - with the point facing in the direction of her childhood home. The labour of love has now blossomed into a mature meadow - a peaceful oasis where Winston can sit and remember his wife of 33 years. Read the whole article at the Telegraph, and then down a pint of Ben & Jerry’s after you realize that douche you’ve been seeing would never plant a heart-forest for you.  photo by Andy Collett
