According to the dictionary linseed is another name for flax - I wonder if it changes its name during processing? Your comment just rang a little bell so I looked it up. It's a lovely colour, though.<br />It's so nice to hear from someone who also has left/right confusion! I'm always misguiding people with<br />directions! I have to use hands as well as voice.<br />I went along the Bicester Road - no longer a straight run - then up Waddesdon Hill by the Waddesdon cross roads, taking all the pics along that road. You were right about the area but looking in the other direction, up to Upper Winchendon.<br />(I'm a cool lady - I stay indoors...!)Sylvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181210810835897800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1107112365381397932.post-49415772271174116872012-05-26T19:59:01.495+01:002012-05-26T19:59:01.495+01:00On the left going in!

I believe all the changes to the English countryside have come to pass because of the Bl**** Common Agricultural Policy. Thank you eu! Not.<br />Set aside land and all that rubbish. HS2 makes my blood pressure rise, so I won't say anymore about that.<br />Hope you are keeping cool?<br />I like 'cool' ladies!

When we lived at Stoke, there was one field where we walked, which was often planted with flax and had a beautiful lilac/blue haze over it.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
