Michael Halfpenny’s interesting picture of fungi, struck a thought with me…

The use of fungi by humans dates back to prehistory. Otzi’ the Iceman, a well preserved mummy of a 5,300 year old Neolithic man found frozen in the Austrian Alps, carried two types of mushrooms that may have been used for medicinal purposes. Otzi’ was found in September 1991 in the Schnalstal Glacier, and is Europe’s oldest natural human mummy. He is displayed with his belongings in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Northern Italy.

Michael Halfpenny’s delightful picture reminds me of the famous children’s Nursery Rhyme…

Astride the heavy timbers, the stone grey walls are bare, they echo to my whisper…. As though the dead are there!

St Paul's on Ludgate Hill

Sitting on the highest point of The City of London is St.Paul’s Cathedral on Ludgate Hill. Established on the grounds of a Roman trading post for the city of Londinium, it is thought to be the fifth St. Paul’s Cathedral built here, and many thousands of visitors pour out from the nearby subway of St. Paul’s each day to marvel at it’s simple beauty.
