Willow is wonderful - not only for basket making etc, but it is the source of salicylic acid (aspirin) We were reminiscing last week about primary teachers who used to fill a Jug with pussywillow catkins and "sticky buds" for springtime displays whe we were littl'uns at school! I remember your wonderful campsite posts, which set me chuckling all day.

We had a touring caravan for many years and could tell you some stories! I think the worst was going into a shower cubicle in the Ladies on one Club site, only to find a big pile of poo on the floor. I was gobsmacked, how any adult woman (it wasn't child sized) could not only do that, but actually leave it there, was beyond my comprehension. I went and reluctantly told the warden, assuring her it wasn't me!! Her reaction surprised me too, she just gave a resigned shrug of her shoulders and said she'd seen worse.....what, I simply couldn't imagine!Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-79238066051119043032020-04-24T08:05:53.037+01:002020-04-24T08:05:53.037+01:00Stunning illustrations.
