Forest Anemones and the European Union Directive... big brother is watching.... run to the forest

Today, in a spare moment to pick up paving stones for our greenhouse, D and I found this little woodland paradise.

Only a kilometer from our house, the newly blossomed anemones saturated the forest floor.

Pulling the car off the road, clambering down a small bank, we cuddled hand in hand enjoying each other once again. It is always a good day when D comes back from a business trip.

It is nice to be able to have nature slapping us back into the beauty of life when the European Union Directive comes into effect. Even for me (a person who doesn't care much about Facebook privacy scares) the recording of website usage, email traffic, and calls to family using the internet is something I am worried about.

"A European Union directive, which Britain was instrumental in devising, comes into force which will require all internet service providers to retain information on email traffic, visits to websites and telephone calls made over the internet, for 12 months."

Dang!
