The life and times of three
love mad Tree bloggers!

The start of a sizzling summer…?

Our picks for this month:

Fitness Fix, this is an unusual one to mention, as you’re all fabulously formed.  However in case any of you are hoping to hone your six-packs or tone your pins to perfection, we thought you might want to meet Nick.  He’s everything you want in a personal trainer, effective, effusive and effing funny:  Nick Crispin

Open-air Opera, one of our favourite things to do on balmy evenings is to have a picnic in the grounds of the Holland Park Opera house.  While a ticket to get inside is rather costly, as it’s open-air you can hear the gorgeous music Read the rest of this entry »

We know from speaking to a lot of you that the demise of England in the world cup was a bitter pill to swallow.  Trust me we feel your pain.  Not only that, but now Fed’s out of Wimbledon too.  Nicky (his REAL wife) is not a happy bunny at all.  Whilst these developments may be shambolic, we’re not known for moping and think that actually, maybe they could be blessings in disguise?

Sport in general is SUCH a good topic to start a conversation with.  There is so much of it around at the moment, that even if you don’t know what’s what, you can ask the right kind of questions to find out.  Also, aside from providing a handy ice-breaker, this summer’s sporting overload means that pubs and bars are fuller than normal, so it’s a great way to meet people too.  Get yourself out there and get chatting.

World Cup Fever:  Helping you avoid red cards…

Naked Bike Ride, this is right up our street.  Not that we’re exhibitionists, mind.  It must totally break the ice and it also encourages people to cycle, two things we feel strongly about.  So if you’re free on Saturday 12thJune and you’re feeling brave, join in: Bare-Back Riding

Dr Demartini, we don’t usually promote self-help things because you folks don’t need them.  But I recently was given a free ticket (we do get some perks!) to hear this guy speak.  He was genuinely outstanding.  The crowd were very rational, bright, professionals.  He does a lot of stuff about relationships.  The organiser has offered SIAT a 20% discount, if you enter the code “Tree”:  Love Guru Read the rest of this entry »

I recently went to see the Noisettes at the Camden Roundhouse with my good buddy, Blankie.  It was without doubt one of the best gigs I’ve been to in a long while.  The lights were low, the atmosphere was electric and the music was outstanding.  I must stress at this point that no, Blankie and I were not on a date.  Firstly he has a gorgeous girlfriend who might have a problem with that, and secondly he’s a bit too weird, even for me.

Had we, however, been in the early throes of dating, it would have been the perfect location to get those butterflies fluttering.  Now I’d say that a gig is a good second date choice, so let’s take a step back and think about that all important date numero uno. Read the rest of this entry »

Election Issue: Who’s getting your backing..?

Real Treehouse, if this sunny weather brings out the child in you and, like us, you feel like rolly-pollying on the grass, licking ice-lollies and climbing trees (gently!), you should spend an afternoon here, where you can walk among the beautiful tree canopies: Kew Gardens

Tree Aid, last month we helped plant trees in London, this time we’d like you to help us plant them in Africa.  There they can make a huge impact on the livelihood of entire communities.  Read more: Tree Aid Read the rest of this entry »

We wish you an eggcellent Easter!

Treehouse Tipples, this Brixton bar may not be the easiest to get to, but it’s worth it. With the days getting longer, what better way to spend the evening than in a cosy cavern, sipping snifters…? Grand Union

Trees for Cities, we clearly love trees, but we also love cities, so we particularly love trees in cities: they break up the concrete jungle, freshen the air and remind us that nature is wonderful. So imagine our delight when we found this charity right here in the big smoke. Read the rest of this entry »

Spring is in the air, let’s put it in your step too!

Victoria and Albert, Buckingham Palace is celebrating one of the greatest love stories ever to have blossomed on Britain’s shores, that of our past monarch.  This exhibition is meant to be inspiring because their passion is almost palpable in the displays: This couple really had a fire in their belly for one another:  Art & Love

Having met well over 1000 singletons for a lot of tea and way too much cake, we can safely say that we have a good idea of what your average 20/30 something is looking for in their ideal other half.  I thought I’d share some of our insights, seeing as you might find them surprising – we certainly did.

Hello there Tree-dwellers,

The recent article in the Metro, coupled with the kind praise and endless forwarding from our friends, has resulted in a hive of Tree populating activity.  We ruddy well love it we do!  Thank you, thank you all for spreading the word.
