I wonder why they're allowed to plant it near houses!
There's just the sheep between me and it.
There's four or five fields of it in a semi circle!
I like my window open at night but, it's really affecting me!
Heaven knows what it will be like on harvest days!
I am sorry about your plight. THis extract from my diary from the 1980's might interest you. We called Rape plants the more aceptable MUSTARD then.
I once was driving along the A30 westward early in the morning and it was misty. I approached a slow incline and ether side of the road there was mustard plants as far as the eye could see. As I approached the top of this hill the sun burst through the mist lighting up the whole glorious golden yellow vista. Indescribably bright and golden, an incomparable spectacle which momentarily overwhelmed me. I could have been in heaven. It was as if God was trying out a new spectacle, with just me to experience it, A minute later the sun went back in and no one would have seen what I saw. Only God could put on a show like that, and not be even bothered whether anyone witnessed it or not
Many years later I was in a yoga group meditating . The leader was describing a warm place in the sun and I became instantly transported back to that golden hill. More than transported I became as one with that golden yellow substance & was happy to end my earthly existence there and then, but I knew it wasn’t my time yet, I had to exercise a superhuman effort of will to re enter my physical body. For some days afterwards life seemed very two dimensional.
Did I see the other side??
