And so it clings

Its suckers will destroy the plasterwork over time. In English I believe this plant is known as grape woodbine. Is there a connection to the cigarette brand “Woodbine”, I wonder? I knew a man called Woodbine once, who was neither clingy nor a (social) climber. So many associations!

It’s so Easy Being Green

Even if Kermit thinks and sings differently.

It can be a blend-in colour, or sometimes a stand-out colour but for most frogs it’s the preferred colour.

But green is not a prerogative of frogs.

If you haven’t had enough greens yet (and one can never have enough greens!) have a look at my fashonista green post from today.

Could It Be Anything But Green?

“The seventeenth of March. In other words, spring. Desmond, people who think themselves smart, I mean those in the height of fashion, women or men – can they afford to wait any longer before buying their spring wardrobes?”
Colette

On a day like this – could fashion be anything but green?

And because green is such a beautiful colour here is another link, Jude’s Life in Colour where lots more green posts can be found this month.

Pebbles, not Rocks

· 7 Comments ·

Since I already posted about a proper storm or rather the aftermath of one called Lothar this week I am just sharing a view from our window yesterday. Not a real storm but a five minute long hailstorm. Luckily it was short and the pebbles were only small. Nothing to either write home about or keep in the fridge. I remember when a radio show host in Bavaria asked people if they had kept one of the golfball sized hailstones that pelted Munich in 1984, i.e. from 10 years earlier. He had hoped for one or two and the radio station was swamped with people coming by carrying cooler bags. That was before everyone had smartphones, of course. Today, people would just share their pictures online.
