Whilst I abhor the xenophobic and nationalistic tendencies of a bigoted minority in this country, I don't think that we should shy away from enjoying our differences as well as are similarities with other cultures. The same goes for worms, for although I have no great passion for them (Probably because a boy called Ian Nichols tried to make me eat one once! I still appreciate their importance to the environment and my veg patch. And as for Charles Darwin.... He rocks!!!Many Coatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732551151566260424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855667302622134267.post-847103276451140592010-05-27T04:51:22.449+01:002010-05-27T04:51:22.449+01:00... by the way, in the light of this post, you mig...... by the way, in the light of this post, you might perhaps want to link to the 'Common Ground' website; supporting and celebrating local diversity across these islands... http://www.commonground.org.uk/The Ragged Society of Antiquarian Ramblershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512955306646644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855667302622134267.post-67839448136129586152010-05-27T04:48:00.445+01:002010-05-27T04:48:00.445+01:00I believe that thrushes 'drum' the ground ...I believe that thrushes 'drum' the ground , simulating rain, in order to 'charm' worms to the surface. <br /><br />A wonderful celebration of something which, you rightly say, is so quintessentially - and, in my view, wonderfully! - English. What with the most welcoming church in Norfolk, and an activated community, Barton Turf certainly seems to be working for wellbeing.The Ragged Society of Antiquarian Ramblershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512955306646644472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855667302622134267.post-63742287816473329952010-05-26T19:10:33.526+01:002010-05-26T19:10:33.526+01:00There's much to be learned from Worms...
