Tree No4, planted on land taken from dairy farming by the #VeganLandMovementCIC

Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa)

Part of the cherry family this pretty tree is sometimes known as "Mother of the Wood" but it's commonly more famous for its berries ... Hubert Berberich (HubiB), via Wikimedia Commons
Flowering as early as late February (flowering from last year's growth & another reason not to cut hedges) & before its leaves are formed, its glorious abundance of creamy blossoms provides vital sustenance for bees after winter.

The Blackthorn flowers are hermaphrodite meaning they have male & female parts in each flower. โ™‚๏ธโ™€๏ธ

A dot to dot in dairy farming ๐Ÿฎ A๐Ÿงต

1. A cow is inseminated (mostly artificially) and a calf is born

2. The calf is taken & either killed within 48 hours, sent to become veal or fattened up for 'beef' or in the case of females to become a future milk production line.
3. Female cows are milked en masse daily and then slaughtered when they can no longer produce. Their lives are short and horrific.

Sometimes in life we have to take a huge giant leap of faith.

We don't know what's on the other side but we jump anyway.

A thread:
Many of us play safe. We are comfortable and secure.

We have all the bills paid & a cupboard well stocked.

Many others have nothing and have no idea where their next meal is coming from. They are cold & displaced.
Most of us have absolutely no concept of real hardship.
