Dandelion greens are delicious in salads...and nutritious - way more vitamin C than a lemon. Plus, there is dandelion wine to consider...

Kudos on the nettle fertilizer - that's some good stuff that is basically free.

Best of luck to you and those attending the Reading Retreat - I hope it is successful and fun.

Finally, condolences on losing your friend Rory...

Dear Ben, what wonderful words you used to describe your friend - not knowing him I felt he truly came alive through them and I got a glimpse into what your friendship must have been like.

I am so sorry for your loss, for Rorys loss and that his love for life was crushed by that loss - enough to let go…

I cannot imagine losing my best friend and waking up every day to that new reality. Sleep is mean that way - it means every day we have to go through that pain again upon waking. Until we somehow get used to it, which is just as sad.

I struggle to find the right words, I guess there aren’t any. Just know that I felt your pain and really am sorry.

Sending you a big hug from Switzerland. Be good to yourself - as you tell us to be good to each other.

Love x

Oh man, I'm bummed about Rory. I only met him once but you're right about how he and laughter are synonymous. I tell your Reach for the Stars story when I get control of the music at parties. It IS a tune.
