Had a lovely #lunchtime walk with the @druid earlier on.

Nice to see that the #willows are starting to do their thing and adorning the trees with their sparkly bundles of fluffy marvelousness. They remind me of caterpillars with Mohicans.

#Writers, what's with the hate for willow trees? Why are they seen as evil and the harbingers of abject horror?

We had willows when I was growing up. I have only good memories of one in particular. It was massive and provided great relief from the hot Summer sun. It was also great for climbing, which as every kid knows is the reason that trees were invented in the first place.

I'm truly curious.

This may or may not be a spoiler for the book I just boosted.
