Bird Flu Has Arrived In Britain
After the scare when a dead swan was found in Scotland, bird flu has now been confirmed as being present on a farm in Norfolk. As Norfolk is a centre for the commercial breeding of turkeys and chickens for human consumption, this could very well be the start of a major disaster.
The current news is that it is not the mega-bad strain of bird flu but even so, all the chickens on the farm have to be destroyed. That is so awful. It has been a little while since the TV new broadcasts showed scenes of bird slaughter in other countries but it seems as if those days will be back with a vengeance if the bird flu spreads.
Spring in England is as beautiful as ever: the daffodils are just about over but tulips of every possible colour and size are in full flower, everywhere looks fresh and green but it is as if there is a black cloud just over the horizon that just got a bit closer.
About tulips: why do our local councils insist on planting displays of red and yellow tulips when there are so many other beautiful colour schemes available? I wonder if there are special heavy duty disease resistant varieties that only come in red and yellow. I bet they aren't squirrel-proof though. If only someone could invent a strain of tulip and one of crocus that were not attractive to squirrels.
Oh well, enough rambling, time to start a new work at home related article.
