You may be aware that
as a consequence of the storms of last October and after assessments
originally undertaken in 1999 it was determined that the splendid
and significant oak tree located to the south of the restaurant
at The Lake Park, Llandrindod Wells was deemed unsafe and of immediate
danger to the public using the footpath. After consultation with
the Town Council it was agreed that the only course of action was
to fell the tree leaving a significant part of its base, below
the crown, to be used as a basis for a wood sculpture.
However, there appears to be more than a little bit of 'magic'
in the air. Sources report that the sculpture undergoing completion
has taken on what are believed to be unmistakeable characteristics
of a 'Llandoddie' or 'Ancient Waterkeeper' of Llandrindod Wells...
