Winter has come for four of the famous Dark Hedges beech trees, and there was no King’s Landing for them

Game of Thrones was a TV show that ran between 2011–2019, famous for its strong starting season, ending with the death of main character Ned Stark, played by Sean Bean, England’s greatest living Sheffield United supporter; an increasingly tiresome plot carried by a great cast, and a universally disappointing ending, arguably worse than my blog posts.
Not a lot of people know that George R R Martin actually consulted me on how to ruin the ending for everyone, even the children: that’s because I made it up just now.

Some of the best loved characters in the show were a row of beech trees, called the Dark Hedges in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland.
According to a survey that may have happened, 9/10 viewers would have preferred one of those trees to be King of Westeros over Bran Stark.

Storm Eowyn helped four of the Dark Hedges beeches overcome their disappointment at the ending of the series they created, and move on to other roles. Like firewood.

As it fell, one tree was heard to say, “this is how you do a proper ending”.

Storm Eowyn has apparently been on a tour of famous landmark trees, including Glasgow’s Darnley Sycamore, and the tallest tree in Edinburgh arboretum.

People who were justifiably disappointed by Game of Thrones are advised to move on from the experience by reading Lord of the Rings, a proper epic fantasy with real goodies, baddies, and hobbits you can relate to.
