Weekend thoughts

Yesterday was Grump Day aka Father's Day which in the mixed up messy world of my family is awkward as most of these things just are . 

I just love vintage cards like that rather then the materially centred or smutty humoured sort you see in many card racks.

It was despite the many reports of expected thunderstorms and heavy rainful pleasant enough to walk out although the many mowed lawns around here do nothing for my hayfever unfortunately.

I like undisturbed meadowlands rather like this with dandelions and daisies growing in them being left alone rather than mowed into a boring super smooth grass patch that does little to sustain bio-diversity.

Why can't we leave these things alone until they truly need it?

Down our wood

It's been a week of the streaming eyes thanks to hay fever which is something I do suffer from as much as love being out of doors but the outdoor life is the one I prefer not least when it's so relaxing.

I'm fortunate this part of the North-west Midlands has lovely countryside even woods in walking distance I can just visit and just spent time just watching nature at its own more less hectic timescale.

Wombling Free!

Well none of us of a certain age can forget the Wombles, ecological warriors and cute cuddly creatures from the 1970's and as a child i look forward to watching every episode.

Here's a link to the online Museum:

Tidy Bag - The Online Wombles Museum

This also has links to various currently available merchandise.
There is a lovely two DVD box set in recycled cardboard featuring all 60 original episodes in order which I recently purchased.
