It's a strange name for such a beautiful flower asI hardly think foxes ever wore them as gloves.

Yes,it is Than U.
I couldn't 'ave asked to 'ave been raised in a more beautiful spot in d world than Wicklow. I am proud I come from there. It has so much diversity. Except when it comes 2 da weather in d last decade or so.
Rain, rain & more rain I even wrote a poem about it.

When I was a kid we had beautiful summers. My sister says it's so sad for her boys as they now don't know what a summer is! Unless they go 2 Spain. Such a shame!
