The caging of stones rarely works. It's not much use as a vandal deterrent, nor does it stop the stones wandering to a pool for a midsummer drink. Who do iron railings save them from? Faeries? No, we must do better than spiked encirclement. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday
Simona Kossak was a Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, & conservation activist.
They called her a witch because she chatted with animals & owned a crow who stole gold & attacked bicycle riders.
She spent more than 30 yrs in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest

Last week I had the honour of reinstating the Naples bed hangings @NTmountstewart after a long conversation project.
In the words of the Lady of the house 'ravishing'!
Before and after:
Bear's Sisters didn't light the fire. They tucked Mouse into bed & washed her face & paws & brought her some sweet lime blossom tea. Then they read to her, long, quiet poems by William Cullen Bryant ("Go, rock the little wood-bird in his nest"), until she fell deeply asleep.
'Parsley's Tail', the first episode The Herbs, was originally broadcast on this day in 1968. It was written by Michael Bond and directed by Ivor Wood, with narration from Gordon Rollings.
Mouse was having a very bad day. The Bears had been busy at chapel, & she had gone for a walk alone in the cold. From the hill, she looked across the river to the village & the sea beyond. What a mess I've made of everything, she said to herself, what a mess I've made of my life.
