Heart of oaks: One farmer's growing love for his late wife is clear from glade in memorial meadow he planted

When Janet Howes died suddenly 17 years ago, her devoted husband Winston decided he wanted to create a lasting tribute to her.

The farmer planted thousands of oak saplings (栎树) in a six-acre (英亩) field – but left a heart-shaped area in the middle, with the point facing towards his wife’s childhood home.

The meadow cannot be seen from the road and remained a family secret until a passing hot air balloonist took this photograph from the air after discovering it accidentally. The heart points towards Wotton Hill, where Janet is from. We plant daffodils in the middle that come up in the spring – it looks great. I go out there from time to time and sit in the seat I created.’
