The honey-bees are gumming On their little wings, and humming That the summer, which is coming, Will be fun. For the spring is really springing; You can see a skylark singing, And the blue-bells, which are ringing, Can be heard. ~A.A.Milne

@RAMoulds @buitengebieden 😷😂

@jall69 @buitengebieden Archie is too busy producing his own line of aromatherapy to worry about flowers.

He likes smelling flowers.. 😅

Weigh anchor before it’s too late …

@saniyafatma1278 Don’t hesitate.

I have the chance to adopt this dog. Do I just do it? I’m single in my 30s with no kids and a house with a backyard. Make this decision for me

I think someone has upset Laura 😉

For centuries, people in England carved symbols into their homes to keep witches out. These “witch marks” can still be found scratched into medieval door frames, fireplaces, beams and church walls across the country. Some are over 400 years old. One of the most common symbols was the overlapping “VV” mark. It stood for Virgo Virginum, meaning “Virgin of Virgins”. A reference to the Virgin Mary believed to offer protection from evil. Others took the form of daisy wheels, labyrinth patterns, burn marks, circles and endless interlocking lines. People believed the carved patterns could trap, confuse or distract evil spirits before they crossed the threshold of the home. Doorways and fireplaces were especially common locations because people believed spirits entered through openings. Many date from the 1500s or earlier, during periods of deep fear surrounding witchcraft and the supernatural. For centuries these symbols were ignored or mistaken for random scratches. Now they are recognised as part of England’s folk history. Small symbols cut into old timber and stone, carrying echoes of England’s forgotten fears across the centuries.

The glorious farmlands and big skies of North East Fife. I grew up working in these fields on the family farm. Fertile soil. Beautiful countryside. Cultivated to feed people. Maintained to create a scenic landscape. No farmers, no food. No farmers, no scenic countryside.

Love the sound of the sea 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍

Shush 🤫 this pollenating malarkey is tiring 💤
