Such gloomy news, the world and its wife are slowly going down the plug hole. Well ten years from now and it will all be different.....
What if John Smith had come to power? He is buried on the island of Iona, ground of the saints, and king's of Scotland.

Just looking from the bedroom window this morning, and the little wren scurried out of the yew, ever busy.
The jackdaws are busy in those holes in the tree, eggs have been laid and a new brood to follow soon.
Down the flowerbed the thrush hopped along looking for tasty nibbles, the world still goes on.
Violets are popping up everywhere, the Euphorbias are raising their golden heads to the sun, and beneath, the first lungwort I planted has attracted its own special singleton bee. The Pulmonaria bee, or the hairy footed one ;) see the long proboscis

I love Pulmonaria until one day I find it has taken over.
ReplyDeleteI am quite happy for it to self seed, though this one seems a hybrid, but it is loved by the bees.
DeleteThe Pulmonaria is out in my garden too. I prefer that name to Lungwort!

All to do with the leaves supposedly looking like spotted lungs I think, those medievalists had a lot to answer for....
DeleteFor us the world goes on...hoping it will for our grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteBasically the young have to pull their fingers out and fight for their world, we can only do so much. But I think they are making a good start.
