A devoted farmer from South Gloucestershire created a heart-shaped meadow as a tribute to his late wife -- by planting thousands of oak trees, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Winston Howes, 70, spent a week planting each oak sapling after his wife of 33 years Janet died suddenly 17 years ago. He laid out the fledgling trees in a six-acre field but left a perfect heart shape in the middle -- with the point facing in the direction of her childhood home.

The labor of love has now blossomed into a mature meadow -- a peaceful oasis where Winston can sit and remember his wife.

據(jù)英國《每日電訊報》報道，為紀念已故的妻子，南格洛斯特郡一位癡情農夫用數(shù)千棵橡樹圍出了一塊心形草坪。

70歲的溫斯頓·豪斯結發(fā)33年的妻子珍妮特于17年前突然去世，從那時起，溫斯頓每周都會在一片六英畝的土地上種下一棵橡樹苗，不過中間卻留下了一個完美的心形，而心尖正指向妻子兒時成長的地方。

如今，愛的付出終于有了成果，溫斯頓可以坐在那綠洲般的草坪上靜靜地懷想愛妻。
