people divorced from nature.
in the Daily Express this morning, large numbers of adults didn't know what a Snowdrop looked like, 1 in 10 couldn't identify a Daffodil and 1 in 5 didnt know that a Bluebell was blue in colour!!!! ye gods!!
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

RE: people divorced from nature.
I would love to meet the people they asked. Were they under the age of 5?

RE: people divorced from nature.
I've read similar stories of kids aged 13 or so being taken to farms or dairies for some sort of school trip and being terrified of the size of cows.

Mate, I hate cows! Got chased by cows as a kid. On one of the Dartmoor trips we got to a field of cows, and I was crapping it! It's irrational I know, and I'm sorting that fear out. But they are fricking huge!!!

RE: people divorced from nature.
if you had turned around and shouted "BOO" they'd have run a mile!! especially in a milking herd there is always a BOSS cow.
I expect what you were chased by was young Bullocks. you can see them egging each other on if you watch closely.

RE: people divorced from nature.
I prefer not to get close enough to check them out haha.
I'm getting much better though. It's completely irrational. I'm less afraid of bears than I am cows. I'd rather be in a cage with a bear than a cow, even though the odds of survival are totally different! Weird hu?

RE: people divorced from nature.
Cows are just incredibly curious....if you run they will run after you cos the want to know why you're running.....just walk casually through,they may gather round for a look but they soon lose interest once they have satisfied there curiosity.
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
