Aww they are so cute! And so pretty!
Don't such "lascivious and libidinous acts" (oh so THAT's how you spell "lascivious". I tried to look it up the other night and couldn't find it) usually take place in the air with butterflies? lol
Yes indeed , I was under the impression that two properly introduced butterflies ( with parental permission) "flutter about" in a distracting aerial ballet.
-
Might those two not be doing something else as well?
The British are of course noted for their reserve , heaven forfend ,therefore that I should suggest lascivious and libidinous acts are taking place.

So Marysport & Watercrook are both Alvana?
Alavanna Carvetorium is Maryport-Alavanna (watercrook) is just plain Alavanna but it might really be Mediobogdum!

Better than the scene presented by Gore Vidal no doubt...
What were O'Toole & Gielgood thinking?
Probably about money...at the time I remember a spoof reinterpretation of Gielgud's "replevin " to those who said he was a fool for taking part -" Sir John was most saddedned by the criticism of his role , there was no mention of sex, violence and nudity in the original bankers cheque".
Did Vidal disown the whole mess?

I will be very interested to hear your comments on his personality.

Not too many vets specialize on alpaca's I suppose. But yes, great all around animals. Great pack animals like llamas I imagine too.

here is the centre I went to, unique in Europe I see.

I have a pair of socks made from their wool; wonderfully comfortable.
My mother has been thinking of adding them to her barnyard ensemble.
Tempramentally they are excellent, I understand that the biggest problem is diagnosis of disease.They are hardy and self reliant and dont have a death wish like sheep.I am wearing my alpaca socks as we speak-ah what joy! I also am told that are excellent guard animals.A top notch breeding male costs about $10,000.

I guess it seems more appealing from that perspective.
What does the river do upstream from this point?
It rises quite a way further North-this area was (and still is ) quite desirable agricultural land, the next fort northward (Ambleside-too wet to shoot this time) had extra large granaries as a depot at the head of Lake Windermere.
-
Still a nice shot.
Other than being riverside, it doesn't look like a very promising defensive location for a fort
The shot I wanted was of the whole site enclosed in a loop of the river-so assault would be into a narrow neck of land -however I couldnt keep my lens dry enough to work round to the required spot.

I would expect you to be meaning Melilotus officianalis.The Wood Sorrel tends to hide away in verdant hedges , what is your plants growing habit?
-
I forgot to add, mixed with nettles (very fresh growth) they would be strongly antiscorbutic-ideal for Pantagathus' long sea voyages (no more scurvy dogs).
-
Leaves, roots, flowers? or all?
The herb -ie: everything above ground
-
In what preparation?
Either an admixture of Burdock leaf Tincture (or Sarsaparilla) with Heartsease and Pau D'arco (though Milk Thistle would be an alternative) .Proportions being 50/35/15. This is for various skin conditions, though I would also encourage use of alpha and gamma linoleic acids and B vitamins also.Acne Rosacea or infected discharging wounds would respond.
Secondly Horse Chestnut, Heartsease and Mistletoe tinctures for varicose veins/blood pressure issues (50/40/10).
The rutin helps with veinous pliability and the very high zinc content helps toward repair of damaged flesh.
Of all the tinctures mentioned only the Heartsease could be used promiscuously, the Mistletoe and P'au Darco dont need heavy concentrations at all.

My back yard is full of those guys....
Very useful plant..I use it nearly every day therapuetically.

Bundles are also burned in Native American 'saunas'
The heat & the sage smoke is extremely relaxing & invigorating
Buhner (in Sacred Herbal and Healing Beers) has a lot to say about the universality of the Sages and their intimate relationship with Humans throughout all stages of historical development.
The Celts would refrain from planting Sage directly, a friend must plant for you to avoid ill luck-I must try to find out how that came about. There is an old saying "why should a man die whilst he has sage in his garden?"
-
Excellent for insect bites
..and used by Greek and Roman as a medicinal gargle and if you are caught without deoderant use sage instead!..but I will have more to say.
-
OOOO pretty!!
I really don't think that particular "paintbrush" has any leaves except for what's on the stems...those little things. They're all flower and about 3 inches tall.Post another photo if you can if leaf development improves-then we have another clue.
-
hmm...my mom mentioned it might be something called "grecian wind flowers" but I don't know. I've never seen them before they were growing here.
they are Runuculiae- anemones! very widespread in Europe in many colours, the normally like well drained sandy soil but as long as the soil is well drained and not too sunny they will try to grow -many many species and colours, but yours are particularly vivid! What a wonderful common name you have given them in America.

leaves look geranium like-I shall download and study assiduously.

"castilleja"
looks very much like a coltsfoot .

I suspect some arcane ceremony to placate fierce and bloodthirsty deities of the dank and gloomy German forests

terrifyingly realistic!

spam carving-how very disturbing. Is it problem in the Bavarian community?

Yes indeed-a quote I will happily now use when Dining out!
