Just wonderful 👇 Worth listening to all of the clip - even more powerful than the necessarily truncated quote.

How quickly another year passes! Flowers near the Norman font and in the Lady Chapel in All Saints' Church #Holbeton in memory of my mother who died 27 years ago this week.

Sometimes seeds germinate in the wormery. A while back, I saw what looked like courgette seedlings and thought "Ah - free courgettes this year". So much for my botanical ID skills. Not free courgettes but a free Christmas nectarine tree a few years later!

A couple of enjoyable hours spent in local churches: at All Saints Holbeton to help with the Christmas flowers, and at St Bartholomew's Yealmpton for the Christmas Tree Festival. The WI tree had a theme of 'Peace on Earth' with lots of doves made and decorated by WI members. My humble effort shown.

"There are an estimated 2.9m people in England with malnutrition. Hospital admissions resulting in nutrition-related diagnoses in England increased by more than 39% over the past decade. Malnourished children are being treated for scurvy, bow legs, rickets and heart murmurs."

Another good account to follow if you like this sort of thing. Another post of this somewhere had a caption along the lines of: "Wow, just look at Stan's stick!"

Re current IHT hoo-ha. Important points about relatively harsh treatment of "climate protesters who used similar tactics who are are doing time", and "fair-weather friends, protecting their vast wealth by piggybacking on to the farmers’ understandable anxieties". But what about supermarket profits?

I grew up in the Midlands calling this a 'pikelet' but down here in Plymouth it's called a 'crumpet'. I assumed it was a regional thing but research on t'Internet is revealing. Best comment: "A crumpet has height and a fluffy internal texture. A pikelet is a hocky puck of misery and disappointment."
