Bog plants!

Hello again,

I have just returned from an excellent weekend in Yorkshire.

A group of friends stayed in the delightful Hebden Bridge and spent a day walking before returning to try out the local hostelries. It made for interesting walking along the rivers that had the textile mills from the 19th Century. Apparently, the fast flowing rivers were not used to generate power but in the processing of the wool; coal was in fact burned for power.

I then met up with my family to visit friends in Barnsley which was fab - lovely people, great hospitality. My thoughts were that a) we don't visit often enough and b) quality of life is a topic that I need to take more seriously.

Whilst out, I took this shot of an unusual planting container. I alone was privy to the sight and happy to have flushed out the opportunity. I panned around and was bowled over to see the strawberry plants in the porcelain. Without delay I managed to get the photo in the can. Taking my rightful place on the throne I became the king of the pun.

Enough nonsense, until next time...
