Eremurus - Foxtail lily

I think we only had pencils

oh, lucky you... I don't have nice memories of that time - as we had to wear stupid aprons as well... grrr.... and go to school on Saturdays...

we still had the free small carton of milk but then they cancelled that : (
I didnt like it either as I was locked in a room and forced to read : (((

However i do remember my firends and I digging hole at the end of the playing fields because we wanted to go to Australia. They only discovered it after 3 weeks of solid breaktime digging

haha... you were hiding it nice, haha...
but I think we had the milk as well... but warm in a glass - I didn't liked milk then, but still had to drink it...:(

And years later all that Calcium business was found to be total BS

I was excused the milk bit when they realised that it really did make me sick!!

Lovely photograph by the way!

Lactose intollerant? I though kids produced lactase to cope with it and it was only later on! oh well ho hum

It's actually the smell! It still has the same effect - instant retching. Black tea coffee etc. For cereal, it has to be boiled with honey in it.

Thank you Meanie - this is nice flower, so...:)
well - I like smell of black ground coffee - but can't drink it... too strong for me...

well Stevie - I couldn't drink milk, but I liked it.
but I am ok now with drinking it and not having problems:)

That's an amazing close-up.
