I can be myself without trying to please some thug. the preston club near me gives talks every monday. I'm doing one on Dec 15th about the flowers I have seen this year.  |
I must say reading your comments KeenTeen was lovely and I had to comment that it is so nice to read that you are not following the 'crowd' and that you are doing your own thing and something worthwhile, I live by a wood that has had a lot of problems with the local youths who use it to 'hide' in, they light huge fires to keep warm and then just leave them still alight and do things like drink in excess and other substances and then in the early hours cause vandalism, excessive noise and a ......... nuisance to everyone in the neighbourhood. Its a beautiful area and has had trees damaged and covered in tags in bright coloured paint etc. What a difference to see someone of your age who can appreciate the beauty and use it as a hobby and show others WELL DONE and your mum must be very proud even though she is wary of you handling the fungi
This also applies to the other younger WAB members and hopefully many more to come
