wild angelica

luscious wild angelica, about to erupt forth into a froth of small white flowers flushed with purple and much loved by insects of all sorts. Culpeper (Nicholas, that is) recommends angelica for all epidemical diseases, which is just about everything so give it a try (usually to be found crystallized on top of expensive cakes).

and a visitor from space

landing now.

Maybe the black dog days are over.

good luck from Launceston Lilian

Lilian, the narrow gauge steam engine, puffing into Launceston Station wishing everyone who needs it good luck (for more pics of Lilian and her friend try this link)




and the shop, note kindly placed drinking water for dogs, a very civilised station.
