Magnolia tree - link to Liverpool

having moved here from Liverpool I wanted something to always remind me of my time there..there is this old story about a dream that Carl Jung had about Liverpool in 1927. He dreamed he came to the city and saw a magnolia tree growing from an island in a city square. He saw the dream as the climax of the whole process of the development of consciousness: ‘Liverpool is the pool of life, it makes to live’..seemed pretty apt, so this is the first thing I planted at the farm..

Good story Skips.
We were off back to the Hope hotel for Aintree and an imminent foaling, we had to cancel (she still hasn't foaled and I missed out on my sushi!)
