It's very versatile little plant, isn't it, with so many uses? I knew it was used to manufacture linoleum, but hadn't heard of it as insulation. Happy New Year. :smile: Flax fields are such a pretty sight, and if you toss in a handful of poppy seeds, you’ll have a perfect picture postcard view.

And come to that, what about rapacious farming habits in Europe? Look at the quality of our water resources! Look at the dreadful state of animal husbandry. About to make remark in bad taste about shortage of supply of Indians in France to test the level of rapacity, but, as it is the festive season, will renounce. Have a super time over the holidays, and good luck to your wife's career on the council.
