RHS Garden Wisley – One of the World’s Great Gardens

/ John Bartels / Leave a comment

This is a repeat post in honour of the wonderful flowers at Wisley.

The RHS Garden Wisley in Surry, England is one of the World’s Great Gardens. In the gardens is a vast glasshouse with three climatic zones. The glasshouse is home to a breath takingly beautiful collection of orchids.

Our good friends in England took us to the gardens last year.

Here are some pictures I took during that inspiring visit.

I don’t know the names of the orchids but perhaps words cannot do justice to their beauty!

Please enjoy the wonder of God’s creation.

All life is about risk management. Deciding about getting vaccinated is also about risk management.

This risk management matrix says it all.

The chances of dying if you get Covid-19Very lowMuch higher

The matrix may not come out on your phone. Here is what it says:

  • If you are vaccinated the chances of you getting Covid-19 are very low.
  • If you are not vaccinated the chances of you getting Covid-19 are much higher.
  • If you are vaccinated the chances of you dying if you get Covid-19 are very low.
  • If you are not vaccinated the chances of you dying if you get Covid-19 are much higher.

Keep safe.

What is a successful education?

The test of a successful education is the extent to which the educated person realises his or her ignorance.
