Not Dead-men’s Fingers wearing nail varnish….

By Bernie Bell
Yesterdays was a Club fungus – Trichoglossum hirsutum. I thought ‘hirsute’ meant hairy – but I didn’t ‘do’ Latin at school, and remember the old rhyme
“Latin is a dead language
As dead as dead can be.
It killed the Ancient Britons
And now it’s killing me!”
PS Maybe a timely reminder………..
