Hoop dreams

I was walking in Castlewellan today and saw this hoop stuck in a tree. It must have been thrown up there because it was too high for it to have been blown up by the wind. Two narritives came to mind. Was this hoop.

a) the pride and joy of a young child who was playing with too much vigour and energy and the hoop got stuck up the tree.

or

b) was it one of many identical hoops from a set of hoops that were on a day out from a dusty church hall and it's owners don't know or even care that it is missing.

I hope the wind brings it down and it finds a new and worthy owner.
