Think it would be expensive but indeed impressive.


Do you know how they made this???
 
All these people are on it and it isn't messing it up so what is it made of?

Did you know that plants talk?

I have several houseplants and they do indeed speak to me....here is one that is Happy, Happy, Happy.....
This is a spider plant and mint in my sewing room
 
This one is not happy and giving me warning signs...
 
These two are absolutely in love with their spot!
 
This one is neither happy or sad but simply surviving
 
He's giving up the ghost...hates the pot and the location
 
He is shouting for joy with hardly any soil!
 
So do your plants talk to you?

Can you imagine these forgotten jobs?

A forgotten profession: In the days before alarm clocks were widely affordable, people like Mary Smith of Brenton Street were employed to rouse sleeping people in the early hours of the morning. They were commonly known as ‘knocker-ups’ or ‘knocker-uppers’. Mrs. Smith was paid sixpence a week to shoot dried peas at market workers’ windows in Limehouse Fields, London. Photograph from Philip Davies’ Lost London: 1870-1945.
