In advance of the Wild and Windy weather I wassailed the old apple tree in the garden, on frozen ground which crunched underfoot, with remnants of snow all around, as my breath steamed in the air … with verse, drum, candle flame, incense, cider and birdseed #SmallBeautiesHour

would be hopping around on one leg, and would look like a young Ian Anderson ….

@mair_bethan @Voodoolounge12 @digilly1 @RslewisSally @SharonGascoign2 @msjanebond007 @Jennife10651535 @FelipeAdanLerma @MerlinTomkins Oh thank you! I’m not so much online nowadays - I’m trying to read much more in my spare moments and do more creative things instead of doomscrolling but it’s lovely to drop in and see the old ‘Rockdowners’ again and John sharing music in the mornings!

@urbanponds101 Greengages are one of my favourite fruit, reminds me of my grandmother making greengage jam when I was little!

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@autisticgardner Yes! Same in my greenhouse!

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@ms_tattsyrup Oh no! It vanished!

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@autisticgardner @wildernorfolk Actually, in some cases, Latin would be useful anyway - a single colloquial name can sometimes be used across a number of species between different areas so at least the Latin name gives a definitive species identification that came be recognised around the world.

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@wildernorfolk Every young person should have the opportunity to learn to identify a variety of the most common trees and wild plants.

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@wildernorfolk That is shocking. They should at least be able to identify a basic range of trees and plants and be able to use a key and book in the identification of others. We are becoming ever more disconnected with nature, some of these trees should be known from even an urban childhood.

@tyhebenw This, every time. Every single thing that we use or consume….

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@tyhebenw Ha! That doesn’t surprise me. And I love sweet and sour sauce with pineapple, so easy to make too - just tomato ketchup, cornflour, vinegar and sugar! Actually, has anyone made a sweet and sour pizza?

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@autisticgardner Oooh! I’ve sown some bellis already, they put on a fantastic show this year in the garden and are still flowering, and I must sow some wallflowers, they are one of OH’s favourites and ours are a number of years old now and very leggy

@autisticgardner Good afternoon, I love the peacock eyeshadow!

[Annie ar y ffridd @anniearyffridd]

@autisticgardner That’s so pretty!
