This is one of a sequence of posts which were written when Loose and Leafy was a work of fiction - gradually, it changed into what it is now - a blog about the wild plants of the South Dorset coast.
It's astonishing how things evolve!
The Esther mentioned here . . . go to Esther in the Garden to find out!
(Or, possibly, to become even more confused!)
I don't have a garden but, if I had one, I would sit in it and think.
My next door neighbour on one side, Mrs Smith, has been murdered.
My neighbour on the other side, Esther Montgomery, has disappeared, along with her husband and two boys.
Mrs Smith's children, including her new baby, Charon, have gone missing. The police are searching for them now.
They have also ransacked Esther's house. Not that they found anything of interest for I had already taken her lap-top. That's what I'm writing this on.

Esther, my friend, started a blog as a distraction when she married a Martian and life grew stressful.
Well, you can take that or leave it but I could see she was anxious throughout the autumn and worried in the winter but, by late spring, she was happy again.

So . . . . .
if it worked for her . . . I'll try it for me.

Here is is! My blog!
It will be called 'Loose and Leafy' because I am Lucy and the blog will, loosely speaking, be about l
eaves and stone and bark and things.
I've started with a blackberry leaf on a stem that has begun to creep across a path after the council flailed the end off it.
To me, this is a photo of rebellion. It is a "you can't keep nature down" picture. It is a "When it comes to a fight between the council and a bramble, the bramble will win; inevitably" picture.

The other is of wet sand where it meets dry.
Storms may clean the beach or strew it with wreckage and debris; the tide-line.
A Good Place to Start a Blog.
