Can I grow an oak tree?

So MRI done n' dusted.  Its weird - and I have said this before - having a scan is like doing an oral presentation or taking an exam.  You are anxious before the time and hope you will put up your best performance. Once it's done, all that anxiety goes away, you feel some what euphoric and figure what ever happens, you'll deal with that later, at least its over for now.

The MRI did give me a chance to think about the next item on my bucket list...

2. Plant an oak tree and watch it grow.

Now I know this might sound fairly arb, but if you know me you will also know that my fingers are about as green as Shrek is handsome. So I want to plant this tree, see it survive my fingers and hopefully be around for a very long time to witness it grow into a magnificent feature at the bottom of my garden. Don't you love the way an oak tree changes through out the year?  Its vibrant red and orange leaves in Autumn and its huge shade offering gentleness in the summer. YIP, I want to plant an oak tree.  Anybody keen to come a planting with me?
