Wild Flowers in the field at Work. (today)




These last ones are the symbol of Yorkshire.
In the 15th century, the retinue of the Duke of York wore the white rose as a badge on going into battle against the forces of the house of Lancaster, led by Henry the VI.
The Lancastrians wore a red rose, the Yorkists wore the white. The war over which great family was to hold the crown of England lasted from 1455, to 1487... and is known in history as
"The War of the Roses".

Some Random Pictures of Scotland


































Because I've had a very tiring and annoying day at work, I'm looking at my pics file from a holiday , north and west coast of Scotland.
It was, when I was a child, our family holiday destination each summer, my father had friends there, an unshakeable, forever friend he'd lived through a war with, survived captivity with. I learned a lot about friendship without realising it.

No captions yet. I'll add to them, attempt to caption them if it seems necessary, that depends on who comes here and asks.
