Wild Garlic in the Woods

Day 71 - 1:17pm, 12 March 2019

I am helping at the school book fair today. It is hectic but fun. The kids are like a storm of greedy locusts, devouring every book in sight. They go, you re-set it and then the next plague comes along and strips the shelves bare. It is nice to see that they still get a thrill from a physical book as opposed to a virtual one. 

After eating my lunch, I make my way to the bridge to take my photo and then cut through Craiglockhart Dell back up toward the school. Despite feeling bloated from lunch, the unmistakable smell arising from the wood's flooring of wild garlic tricks me into feeling hungry. It is so strong I can taste the garlic without it having to be anywhere near my mouth. Wow, if I can trick my body that easily, I need never actually eat an unnecessary calorie ever again, just smell it and I'll be fine and dandy.
