Re: Strange phenomenon
As a child, I remember picking flowers on weeds to see what they smelt like, following insects to see where they went and why they were going there, counting the number of butterflies that came into our garden and getting so excited when I saw larger forms of wildlife. I sometimes wonder if present day children get as close to nature as I did and feel sad if they don't have the opportunities to learn about nature and the world we live in. I see so many using phones, tablets and pc's but nothing is the same as learning about nature when you are actually seeing it.10-06-2016, 07:59 AM

I wouldn't choose to eat snails but, if the disaster caused wet conditions, at least I know that I can.
