Well can things also sometimes get better? The following video of the redemption of a Scottish 'dead' valley would give some encouragement. Quietly taking it in hand a group of volunteers raised £400,000 pounds and bought the land. Firstly they had to evict the sheep and feral goats and a fence was built round the perimeter as a discouragement to deer. Carrifarn Valley had one tree growing, a Rowan tree. It grew because the seed, probably dropped by a bird, had lodged in a big rock.
It is funny how people love trees and will fight for their preservation, I think it is because, firstly they can be beautiful and grand, but that also we feel grief for the way the landscape is torn apart by humans. They are part of our everyday vision, destroying something familiar shocks the soul into action.
What was funny though I took this video off my tablet and right next to it was a video with the picture of Rees-Mogg, saying in his pompous voice, 'Well do you want rainforests or destroyers' I know what most people would have replied to him, we still love the land more than defence, but thinking about that and you see a conundrum, do you need defence to protect the rainforests?
Note the Scottish flag displayed prominently, another small country of what was once called Great Britain is trying to escape Westminster. Funnily enough I don't see the Yorkshire flag in this part of the county, it was far more visible in North Yorkshire. Not that I am a fan of flags having seen the St. George's flag so horribly abused by aggression.
and one more video for those who like the foolishness of life - Larry the cat, and we all know where he lives. It is a good factual account of No.10's door. It is steel for a start and something I didn't notice, but know now, it has no handle and obviously no cat flap for Larry who expects his lackeys to let him in and out.
