Benevolent Green Man


I am reeling after watching part of a programme about China on the Beeb.
Man is a veritable engine of greed, fuelled by plastic junk, burgers, fizzy brown liquid encased in even more plastic junk and stretched metal belching noxious fumes.

Most of the Green Men we make are rather stern looking and so they should be, how dare we take what is not ours only to destroy it?
Here is a slightly more benevolent and tired looking  Green Man, he has seen it all before but is here to remind us to do the right thing, learn to ride a bike.............take the bus..........plant a tree.

Such a beautiful morning. Blue skies, breeze, bird song, cats idling about, occasional crow from our cockerel whose body clock is a little challenged, porridge, fresh coffee, art materials to hand....This is good, dare I say.
 
I'm always nervous about celebrating a wonderful morning...is this something British? Sometimes I think we're only happy when we're miserable. We feel safe then.
