According to a botanist here in Nova Scotia, the dandelion, hawkweed and coltsfoot are all related - all from the aster family - and people do tend to confuse them. I've often wondered what the latter two were called, and thanks to you, now I'm educated :)<br /><br />Poor Clint, to have to worry about mucky farm machinery!

I've been bitten over my years of first walking, now running. The only dog who chases me now weighs about three pounds although he thinks he weighs three hundred. "Go home," I tell him, and he does but not until he's made sure that I know he owns that part of the sidewalk.

It makes rambling in France very risky.<br />Another difference is how unusual it is to see abandoned properties in poor repair in the UK whereas they're commonplace in rural France. (Our bit anyway.) Properties there are cheap and the inheritance laws make them difficult or not worth selling so they just fall down. In the UK the value of the land alone makes them worth restoring or rebuilding.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-43783402194758822522020-05-26T10:46:29.003+01:002020-05-26T10:46:29.003+01:00Beautiful photographs, beautiful countryside, clev...Beautiful photographs, beautiful countryside, clever poem.
