Hello,everyone.

Growing up in my family gives you a certain sense of history.

I'm simply the latest in a line that can be traced back generations.

This oak tree is close to Windsor Castle, which has been home to my family for over 900 years.

Thirty-nine monarchs have lived here and enjoyed these beautiful surroundings.

I've walked here many times myself, and it always amazes me that some of the trees planted here,living organisms,dependent on soil,rain and sunlight, were here as they laid the first stones of Windsor Castle.

That makes some of the oaks here almost 1,000 years old.

These trees germinated during the reign of William the Conqueror in 1066, from a simple acorn like this.

By the time that Henry VIII lived here,they'd grown into mature,impressive giants.

And amazingly,some of those very same trees still survive here today.
