Sweet Beaminster, far from Athens

Riots in Athens, 17 November, as expected. Kathimerini reports.

I was far away, on a peaceful walk in the English countryside (from Beaminster - Netherbury church - Stoke Abbott - Stoke Knapp farm – Chart Knolle - Gerrard's Hill - Beaminster).

"Sweet Be'mi'ster, that bist a-bound
By green an' woody hills all round,
Wi' hedges, reachen up between
A thousan' vields o' zummer green,
Where elems' lofty heads do drow
Their sheades vor hay-meakers below,
An' wilde hedge-flow'rs do charm the souls
0' maidens in their evenen strolls."

William Barnes.





These Lepiota look good, but they are probably poisonous!
