Welcome to Georges Wood - an area of woodland in the heart of Suffolk, England in memory of George Fagg who died on Good Friday 2003, aged 27.


This blog is to record and share with George's family and friends the planting of the wood, which began in Spring 2011, and its ongoing development.........

Good Friday 2019


“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.” Kahil Gibran

One of my favourite quotes which I share with you this Good Friday.  It is only when your heart truly breaks that you understand just how great is your capacity to love.


Last Easter I gave you a Butterfly Poem which somehow encapsulated my feelings at the time – and here, for those of us still with a lingering sadness as Good Friday evokes old memories, we can listen in our inmost inmost silence for George’s voice saying:

“Don’t weep at my grave,
for I am not there,
I’ve a date with a
butterfly to dance in the air.
I’ll be singing in the
sunshine, wild and free
playing tag with the wind
while I am waiting for thee.”

A very Happy Easter to you All – and George, ‘Our joys are greater, Our love is deeper, Our lives are fuller because we shared your moment’ Thank you.


News from the Wood. 

Only a couple of pictures for you this time and only the briefest of news - the snowdrops were beautiful this year and frogs have been spawning on our pond. The barn owl has been frequenting the nesting box this spring so hopefully this year she may rear some youngsters and last week there was a yellow brimstone butterfly enjoying the sunshine in the wood.
