It's always good to look back to see achievements. 4 pictures here from my garden, 2 from June 2022 & 2 from June 2024. Just 2 years from near mono culture to a riot. I admit I am quite pleased with myself even though I have quite a way to go 💞🌿

A lot of religious things are nicked from indigenous populations. It's all down to assimilation. I do like a hot cross bun, but like over 50% of the UK population I am not religious at all. Easter eggs are a rip of though so I will stick to my kit kat.
@theAliceRoberts
Hot Cross Buns are more than 2,000-years-old, and are Pagan in origin, not Christian.
The cross is thought to represent the seasons, which they were obsessed with.
There were crosses before Jesus.
That's actually why he died on a cross. They'd already been invented. See?

The moon is drifting away though so astronomically eclipses won't be around for long. We just happen to be living in the period of time that this does happen. Personally I blame Slartibartfast.

I had to do a fact check on that one and it seems your son's school are not the only ones that think this. In fairness whilst incorrect, can see the narrative though, rebirth, resurrection, eggs etc. personally for me they symbolise capitalism and a healthy waste line 😂

A workman came to my house for a quote. Explained how tricky it would be (pointing a 🧱). I felt the quote was expensive. He paused & then said he should better speak to my husband 👋 I got a new quote from a less condescending guy which he did very well and for half the price.

Bauxite. No one has put forward a hypothesis on how it's in Provence. I can help: This piece was likely formed from the Tennessee Atlantic ridge prior to the split from Europe during the early crustaceous period. It's well known to form from the fossilisation of young brachiopods

Hi, yes some ash trees c.5% have good resistance to the disease. Years ago when I was a child many Elm trees were culled to prevent Dutch Elm disease spreading. Research is now showing that culling all elm trees was a mistake as they too have a resistant %age.

I've taken this picture off Pinterest. I would go down this route to give some height & visual interest. I'd stay away from grass as it is 'just one thing' & you can have fun with lupins etc at the back. A Lakeland slate version could work too as a rockery, divided into sections.

Did you know it is illegal to pick bluebells in the UK? If you walk over them to get to a "better insta spot" you may kill the bluebell, or stop it from regrowing for 7 years. The leaves are so delicate, when squashed they cannot get enough regrowth energy back into the bulb 😔🚫

It's more disconcerting that HM Treasury is doing political party marketing & bragging that it doesn't understand global economics. Happy to paint a lie that inflation is lowering because of their "plan" but when inflation was rising it was "all someone else's fault" The irony!

This might save her nice green neolithic dress: Records of period management suggest women in the Stone Age (c.30,000 BCE–3,000 BCE)had basic pads made of leather & linen-wrapped moss & sand. Ancient Egypt had reusable loin cloths & basic tampons made of papyrus and grass. Comfy.

Contrary to popular belief Barbie pink was not a creation of Ruth Handler in 1959. This pink found in your limewash was first used at the 1296 battle of Dunbar when the Scots all wore special pink tweed. Evidence was disputed until carbon dated cloth was found at a dig at Ettrick

Nationalisation alone will not be the answer. There needs to be an exit plan, something where the end game is clean water and sewerage solutions that does not bankrupt the tax payer. Enforced regulation and importantly consequence management. All lacking currently.
