The tree will provide nectar for insects, acorns for birds and mammals and a home for all kinds of wildlife!

My wife and I were among the very first to receive both of our vaccine jabs, at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Being well into our Eighties, we have, over the years, experienced the wonderful care and treatment from the Hospital's dedicated staff. The vaccine procedure was no exception. From entrance to exit, the organisation was first class, showing, again, how fortunate we are, in this area. We should be proud. Thank you, Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.'😃
