True Lover’s Knot

True Lover’s Knot

This unusual looking flower has a beautiful name, True Lover’s Knot but is also called Herb Paris (Paris quadrifolia) and is as one of the names suggests, a herb. In Swedish it’s called ‘Ormbär’ and had a bit of a bad reputation in the old folklore. Growing in the dark forest grove and it’s unusual appearance made people reluctant to touch it. Will give you quite a stomach ache if taken for a blue berry and eaten, more than five, contact a doctor.

Embrace diversity, ha de Gött!

Pit stop

Pit stop

Full speed ahead

A Happy Meal roadside

Eat, get your toy

Sounding brum, brum in backseat

Out the window, bored

Now, stuck in pit stop

Without a crew

Slow down and breath, ha de Gött!

Svalört (Ranunculus ficaria) or Pilewort. Using the Haddock straight translation from Swedish this becomes ‘Cool herb’. Pretty cool for a Thursday flower.

Stay cool, ha de Gött!

Cowmotion

Cowmotion

It can be hard to stay calm and trust yourself when a flock of cows run towards you. Each weighing 500, up to 800 kilos. Golden rules are, too check your escape route, never walk trough a flock and look the leader, the alpha cow in the eyes. If you start to run you better run fast as they will start to run with you and can accidentally run you down.

Keep calm in muh muh land, ha de Gött!
