Nice work Fata! I have a bit of a soft spot for burdock because I used to have a lovely 'Auntie' (ie not a real relation but a delightful lady) who used to make burdock hats with me when I was very small. We did the same with rhubarb leaves. We would pull the leaves around into a cone and pin them with a twig then decorated them with flowers. She was wonderful with kids and was prepared to wear her burdock hat with me all the way home through the village without bothering what the neighbours would say. She had no children of her own as her fiancee was killed in WWII. She would have been a fantastic mother.

Thanks, I did not know of your blog, and I look forward to following it.

Thanks for the reply and wonderful story, Flora. That's such a wonderful and rich memory!

Thanks, coing! I hope you enjoy it!
