The Standing Stones Of Sheila Fleet…….
When we had lunch at Sheila Fleet’s in late November…..

…..I noticed that little standing Stones had been placed in large pots, all-around the outside of the building. They’d been planted-up but, as it was winter, nothing was growing.
We returned in early July when Orkney is bursting into flower, and were delighted to see the now-blooming little pots and troughs….
One had the added bonus of a beautiful little poppy….
We then went indoors for a yummy lunch…..
And had a look at the lovely things to be found up the winding stair…

Becoming Earth: Experimental Theology
by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Potawatomi botanist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer visits the Andrews Experimental Forest in Oregon, where over the course of two centuries scientists will study how old-growth trees and their decomposition contribute to the biogeochemical cycles of the Earth. For the forest’s cedar trees, Robin says, death is merely a transition—a rearrangement of elements from one species to the next. What might this teach us about the nature of our own “afterlife?” Can this cyclical ecology be an experimental theology? This episode is the final in a series we are sharing in partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature.
