Your knowledge and love of natures ability to heal all ails is astonishing Jan, I love birch juice, but have always tapped the trees, carefully of course.I have never tried fresh bird leaf bud the way you have described... thank you.

I hope you are having the same glorious spring days as we are! xx

Thank you, Susie -- and yes, glorious days -- but in Devon and Wales -- seeing family and friends between book launches :) x

Very interesting, Jan. I have a special birch tree, so am glad to expand my understanding. Thank you.

Jan I enjoyed this, knowing so little but loving trees. There’s a silver birch just outside my flat. Thank you for Ogma, the god of literature and eloquence and the magical alphabet ‘in Birch’.

Thank you Denise -- my knowledge was so little till I lived in a forest, but the trees feel the love anyway x
