AccyWeb's reputation as a sanctuary for laid back hippies and dandelion salesmen is obviously gaining in strength.

He is into Illuminati symbolism so he is best avoided.
This may be due to ignorance of the subject, but could be reptile soul possession.

I'm sure all we are doing is helping someone to fit in, in exactly the way he wishes to.

If he ever comes on a little bored from wandering around his large estate, I'll show him the way to the calm room, give him some crayons and a copy of the rules and suggest he tries not to go over the line while he's copying them.

What fun have I been missing out on?

Love blowing dandelion clocks in sunny meadows being also an avid maker of daisy chains.

Major problem this last few weeks -we have an exceptional year for Poplar flowering over in Italy - you could be forgiven for thinking that it's snowing outside at the moment, if it weren't for the fact that it's sunny and 27°C! All those fluffy little seeds swirling around everywhere are making my eyes itchy and iritating my asthma no end -when did i start suffering from hay fever? Never had it before:rolleyes:

As to the good old "Dent-de-leon" (pardon my french) or Dente di leone as they call it over here -the locals are out in force picking the tender new leaves to mix in their salads. Hops shoots are also ripe for the picking -taste and look a bit like wild asparagus -great in a risotto (as are nettles) or to make a frittata.

When we were little my Gran used to tell us not to bring those lovely sunny yellow flowers indoors as they would make you wet the bed...it's nicknamed Pis-en-lit in french which means just that.:D

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

When we lived in the country where I knew the nettles hadn't been sprayed I used to make nettle soup annually about this time of year. Very nice and good for you too! We have hops in the garden here but I haven't used the shoots in cooking yet. Don't remember till the shoots are halfway up the wall! Richard Mabey's book Food for Free is very good on all this.

Can't remember the name but i seem to remember some female Tory partymember once suggesting that the unemployed learned to forage for food in the countryside!:eek::D

Bit difficult if you happen to live on a council estate in a city center...:rolleyes:

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

Glad we didn't have to remind you Less, we don't want you to feel left out :D

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

Council estate in a city centre,:eek: we're not talking Naples here mobertol:D

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

I wouldn't be posing next to that brick work with trowel in hand as if to say look what i did, its as rough as a badgers bum:D

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

Wasn't there once a dandelion brew, or am I getting mixed up with something else?

Re: Dazzling dandelions!!
 

Besides being from Yorkshire, perhaps he's just a bit cantankerous because he's a bed wetter.

Due to picking all those potently diuretic dandelions.

:rolleyes:
