The most ancient of trees, the Yew symbolises #Saturn & death, but also the rebirth of light at the winter solstice. It is Old Magic, dark dreams, Otherworld journeys & connection to ancestors. It is perseverance leading to transformation. It is renewal. #FairyTaleTuesday

Even in winter, the wood calls out to be walked. Its paths tell your boots to ignore the mud. Its occulted roots whisper to your bones with promises of clearings you've never encountered before. The way into it is a seduction that makes even the oldest of us young again.

This is the lovely Jeremy Clarkson. He’s used his show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ to vilify Badgers as responsible for the spread of bTB and has shot all the Badgers on his farm
He’d hate it if people ‘RT'd’ this and signed the petition to end the Badger cull..

"We put food on your table."
"Well, we teach your kids, look after you when you're sick, clean your streets, empty your bins, deliver your shopping and your mail and care for your parents. We pay our fair share. Why shouldn't you?"

Instead of “once upon a time,” Korean folk and fairy tales often begin with 호랑이 담배 피우던 시절에. It means “back when tigers smoked (pipes)”

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
