Meet Mike 👋

… farmer, engineer, postman and who also helps out at the Elm Tree Inn. 🌳👨‍🍳❤️

Mike grew up in Langton Herring, moved away to become an engineer, and eventually returned to the area. Now living in Abbotsbury, he delivers the post four days a week and helps out in the kitchen at the Elm Tree Inn — because he believes in the importance of community. ❤️

And when the sun is shining, who needs a car when you have a Field Marshall?

… a rather orange Field Marshall!🍊🚜

When we asked Rachel if she’d like to come visit us at the Elm Tree Inn, she explained that she no longer had a passport…

Then Nyla stepped in with the only sensible response:

“I WANNA GET ON A PLANE!” 😂✈️

Well, Nyla… we’d LOVE to see you too! ❤️

Rachel already has a Save the Elm Tree Inn hoodie…

…now she has an Elm Tree Stan baseball cap too! 🧢🌳

So perhaps it’s time for the whole family to come and see the little Dorset village that started it all. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

The Elm Tree Inn is waiting for you! 🥰

When we asked our villagers in Langton Herring what Gen Z slang terms meant, let’s just say the answers were er, creative! 🤣

So when we met Rachel in California 🇺🇸, we thought we’d put her to the test:

Situationship ✔️
Menty B ✔️
Baddie ✔️
Delulu ✔️
Ghosted ✔️

She absolutely SLAYED IT! 👏😂

And with Nyla looking fabulous in the background, we couldn’t resist ending the visit the only way we could…

SLAY! 💅😂

From Langton Herring, Dorset 🇬🇧 to Hanford, California 🇺🇸 — who knew the world needed a Gen Z slang showdown? 🌎❤️

From Dorset to Hanford, California! 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

She found our Elm Tree videos, loved the madness 😂, bought a Save the Elm Tree hoodie — and when we were in California, we just had to go and meet her! 🥰

We got the biggest hug, met her lovely family and discovered why she connected with our campaign — especially Judy, who “likes getting lit!” 😂🍷

And the best bit?

There’s a wine bar in her town… but she’s never been! 🤣🍷

The Elm Tree Inn really has brought people together. 🌳❤️

From online friendship to a real life hug ❤️🇺🇸

We’d been connected through the Friends of the Elm Tree campaign - one that brought together a community of more than 100,000 followers.

Now Tim and Hils are standing on Rachel‘s doorstep in Hanford, California - the home of one of the 1,600 Americans who had supported our campaign.

Rachel welcomed us with the biggest hug - and we felt right at home.🥰

From a campaign in our little Dorset village to a friendship across the Atlantic.🌳❤️

Come inside with us… 🇺🇸🇬🇧
