That's amazing, 30 years, most when it dies off from dutch elm disease around here, the tops will seem to weather, and not decay, just dry down, but further down, it will turn within a few years or less. I like to get elm as soon as its dead, no punk, but will make use of any of it I can get to. I've removed as many of the dead ones as possible, to keep d.e.d. from spreading to others. I have noticed certain diameter elm, 4"-6", once weathered it seems to seal up, and I left some on the ground a few years, cut up, it was hard and had a nice ring to it. Black cherry will last a long time, years after its dead, sometimes its dry rotted, but most times its just the sap wood, the darker wood is usually intact. I have one that my father cut in 1980, still up in the air and hard as a rock, weathered like driftwood, no idea why he cut it, funny how its still there on the old fence line. There was another along another fence line, weather damage mid 90's, bang on that one with a hammer, all of it is hard and no signs of ants, up in the air still. I'll have to take some photos of these, black cherry is an all around great species, rather see it as lumber but it does make nice firewood, lot of it around here.

The center of any village once the shop is closed is the old tavern. Rustic places with cheerful names like "The Griffin" "Red Lion" or "The Plough and Harrow" are found dotted around the country lanes all over the place. The warm glow of yellowish light can be seen for quite some distance at dusk, and
