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.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，为纪念已故的妻子，南格洛斯特郡一位痴情农夫用数千棵橡树围出了一块心形草坪。

70岁的温斯顿·豪斯结发33年的妻子珍妮特于17年前突然去世，从那时起，温斯顿每周都会在一片六英亩的土地上种下一棵橡树苗，不过中间却留下了一个完美的心形，而心尖正指向妻子儿时成长的地方。

如今，爱的付出终于有了成果，温斯顿可以坐在那绿洲般的草坪上静静地怀想爱妻。
