Life Git's Tee-Jus, Don't It?

The sun comes up, the sun goes down, the hand on the clock go round and round. That's a 1948  song by Carson Robison. It was my first thought as I got up this morning to make tea. I immediately felt guilty considering how lucky I am compared with others but it has been going on a lo-ong time now.

I went up to Ideford Common late this afternoon and wandered round this part that was felled a while back now. These are the survivors, the ones that were left after their contemporaries have been laid low.
