Breakfast on Rose Petals











One of Woozle's favourite breakfast snacks on her meander down the lane on the way to her field are the small white roses growing in the hedgerow. She absolutely insists on a mouthful or two, and who am I or Mark to deny her that small pleasure.

Druids, dressed in their ceremonial robes, and groups of followers from different beliefs to whom the day and the circle are important, were mixed with an electic micture of Morris dancers, musicians, and drummers all gathered alongside the many visitors from all over the world.
The sun rose at 4.58am, cheered on from those gathered to witness this special event, and to welcome in the longest day. It was a peaceful, happy occasion of celebration.

A Sunday Morning



















We were up early and decided to have a stroll around in the sunshine and take a few pictures, Woozle is sporting one of her sun dresses (anti fly UV). We wandered about drove down to the seafront and met one of my local friends Sarah riding her horse. She and I dont like being in photos, so I was threatened with dire consequences should they appear, but the paparassi managed to get an arm of mine in and Sarah's boot, so we'll let that one pass. Her grey is a Lovely chap, he was watching this little dog who was having a great time chasing seagulls.

June 8th World Oceans Day, Greenpeace battles on....

Charles Clover's movie version of his book, The End Of The Line is due to be shown around the UK on Monday 8th June, World Oceans' Day. The movie features the problems affecting bluefin tuna in a big way, and features Charles' and Greenpeace's campaign to get Nobu to delist bluefin tuna too.

The advert above appeared in a recent London's Evening Standard issue, and does so amidst increasing pressure on the swanky Nobu sushi restaurant chain. The issue of course is that Nobu continue to serve bluefin tuna, which is officially listed as an endangered species by the IUCN. That makes it equivalent to serving up gorilla, tiger or rhino on a plate.

a diverse range of Nobu's A-list clientele are requesting them to take it off the menu. The list includes Stephen Fry, Sienna Miller, Stuart Townsend, Charlize Theron, Zac Goldsmith, Woody Harrelson, Ted Danson and Alicia Silverstone.

"It's astounding lunacy to serve up endangered species for sushi.
There’s no justification for peddling extinction,
yet that is exactly what Nobu is doing in restaurants around the world."
Stephen Fry

Materials Arrive,Flowers & a Gift in the Post

After having a rather down bad morning, full of angry people, my day was brightened by a new consignment of super soft fleece materializing on my doorstep, a donation from ace animal lover my friend Margaret.
Then followed by a knock on the door from the 'Post Lady' delivering an awesome gift from Julie See the Pywacketts Blog. http://pyewacketts.blogspot.com/
Chased in quick succession by an enormous bunch of fabulously beautiful sunshiny flowers, from another local friend Sonia, just to cheer me up, she had just heard about dear Poppy.
I spent the afternoon cutting out more jackets, while watching period dramas on TV. I've got up to 15 and still more fleece!, but they will have to go on hold for a few days as I've just been to the chiropractor this evening, and feeling my age...
