It seems even Nature ...

... has a North - South divide.

This is one of the lovely Whitebeams in the village. The North side of it still has bare branches with few buds, the South side is in full leaf !

It looks quite odd.

I know moss grows on the north side of tree trunks but I've never noticed north/south leaves growing unevenly before. I'll have to look at a few other trees to see how they look. Is the tree in a particularly exposed position?

It is in a row beside the main road to the village - the road has houses on both sides so isn't 'over-exposed' to the elements. The prevailing wind along there is Easterly.
