Edith Cavell

At 11am this morning I was here. That seems very appropriate. Her words : " Patriotism are not enough I must not have hatred for any man "  Have always resonated for me.  
The Extra's : Winter flowering Clematis and Mahonia with Pyrocantha.

To continue with John Clare's November. A warm thanks to those who tell me they enjoy it.

The shepherd oft foretells by simple ways
The weathers change that will ere long prevail
He marks the dull ass that grows wild and brays
And sees the lot cows gad adown the dale
A summer race and snuff the coming gale
The old dame sees her cat wi fears alarm
Play hurly burly races wi its tale
And while she stops her wheel her hands to warm
She rubs shooting corns and prophecys a storm
