It is but a month
Winter Solstice approaches
Darkness leads to Light

Welcome break in rain

n.b. Mass slaughter of badgers to inhibit spread of Bovine TB is a nonsense. Of 89 badger carcasses examined only 3.8% were infected with the illness.
There is no justification for the continuing programme of mass slaughter of badgers (an otherwise protected species) being carried out in parts of the UK in a vain attempt to reduce infection in dairy cattle.
The DEFRA official website is currently “Closed for updates”, but here is the link to the link to The Badger Trust charity for its stance on the matter.

On Numbers 5
Leaves, starfish, fingers
Five is a magic number
One of the many.

Odd isn’t it, five? Or should we count the stalk, the wrist, the foot? Then it’s six and even.
