Spent a few days tending to grafted apple trees on a friend's farm in County Clare. Thousands of trees meant thousands of weeds, and this was my favourite of them all

the recipe calls
for a kilo of nettle
stinging only, please

I was meaning to post a whole load of photos from Buxton a few weeks ago but then I was busy (in a good way) and then I was tired and I'm not quite sure how we got to December so quickly. But anyway, here's one lovely thing I saw at The Green Man Gallery (amongst lots of other lovely things) - nettle brushes by the Well Keepers Art Group

August nights, and meteors flashing like fireflies, said the bobcat.
Beware the nettles in the summer grass, said the little ghost Belle. And the mosquitoes.

Each in our own #orbit we meet at certain constellations, our #signal joyful #stimulation to each other, outshining #hell's fire when it's time to grab the #nettle; an always welcome #embrace.
