Copper Beech May 2010
Copper Beech May 2010. This slpendid stand alone Beech tree is hard to miss particularly at this time of the year with its vibrant fresh foliage. Many people comment having seen it by the road to Auchtermuchty from Newburgh North Fife, that it remains and allowed to flourish in the middle of an arable field says a lot.

The River Tay at Newburgh last night, May 23rd, tranquil and reflective, a pleasure to dwell by. Unlike many parts of Scotland here in North Fife we are midge free, what a joy. This stretch is part of The Fife Coastal Path, forming the North West limit before it moves into Perthshire.

Flisk Garden North Fife May 2010
Today in the garden at Flisk North Fife. The cockerel struts his stuff, spring is in fullness and it is very pleasantly warm.
Welsh Poppies
Orpingtons Wellsummer X.
Orange Tip Butterfly, only in the last 2 years of 30 has this really attractive butterfly been evident around my home.
Dandelion seedhead, this is the first flush of a very prolific weed, attactive anywhere but in ones own garden it has its downside.

Why We Lie: The Source of our Disasters (Paperback)
Start the week on BBC Radio 4, Dorothy Rowe, psychologist chatted with Andrew Marr and others, given the present economic uncertainty, it could be a timely read.
Why We Lie: The Source of our Disasters (Paperback)
Why do we lie?
Because we are frightened of being humiliated, being treated like an object, being rejected, losing control of things, and, most of all, we are frightened of uncertainty. Often we get our lies in before any of these things can happen. We lie to maintain our vanity. We lie when we call our fantasies the truth. Lying is much easier than searching for the truth and accepting it, no matter how inconvenient it is. We lie to others, and, even worse, we lie to ourselves.
In both private and public life, we damage ourselves with our lies, and we damage other people. Lies destroy mutual trust, and fragment our sense of who we are.
Lies have played a major part in climate change and the global economic crisis. Fearing to change how they live, many people prefer to continue lying rather than acknowledge that we are facing a very uncertain but undoubtedly unpleasant future unless we learn how to prefer the truths of the real world in which we live rather than the comforting lies that ultimately betray us. We are capable of changing, but will we choose to do this?
Review
‘Rowe asks why we tell lies and puts the answer down to a mixture of vanity and terror. All pretty toxic, as far as personal relationships are concerned, but Rowe goes further: our failure to tell the truth is behind all manner of ills, from the current economic crisis to global warming. Scary stuff, but Rowe is so wise that you begin to think it might be possible to change.’ Guardian

Fife show Winner
The Scottish Ferret Club was set up in 1998 in order to encourage the responsible ownership of both pet and working ferrets The aim of this site is to promote ferrets as pets and working animals in Scotland.
It is hoped that through this site local people can meet and share their ferret experience and knowledge.
Ferrets make wonderful pets and can also be used to keep Rabbit numbers down The Scottish Ferret Club encourages both forms of ferret ownership as these animals are not only beautiful, friendly and full of life they are also useful vermin control
