I wish I remembered Elms. They must still have been a feature of the landscape in my early childhood, but I didn't know, then, to take notice...
Both of these paintings of the tall Elm trees bordering the garden in Iver Heath/Bucks, where he grew up, are by Paul Nash (1889-1946)

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral.
You know what to do.
