              I remember, back in the old days :old:, chatting to Pliny the Elder about it. I don't remember the broadband bit though :scratch:, it seemed more like rag time band. :snork:

                  Gaius Plinius Secundus (AD 23 – August 25, AD 79), better known as Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as naval and army commander of the early Roman Empire, and personal friend of the emperor Vespasian.

                  Spending most of his spare time studying, writing or investigating natural and geographic phenomena in the field, he wrote an encyclopedic work, Naturalis Historia (Natural History), which became a model for all other encyclopedias. Pliny the Younger, his nephew, wrote of him in a letter to the historian Tacitus:

                  For my part I deem those blessed to whom, by favour of the gods, it has been granted either to do what is worth writing of, or to write what is worth reading; above measure blessed those on whom both gifts have been conferred. In the latter number will be my uncle, by virtue of his own and of your compositions.[

                  Pliny is referring to the fact that Tacitus relied on his uncle's now missing work on the History of the German Wars.

                  Pliny the Elder died on August 25, AD 79, while attempting the rescue by ship of a friend and his family in Stabiae from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius which had just destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.The wind caused by the sixth and largest pyroclastic surge of the eruption would not allow his ship to leave the shore, and Pliny probably died during this event.

                    I saw these a few weeks ago but only discovered this thread today. There are lots of them around here.

                              Summer snowflake (although it flowers in Spring?) Leucojum aestivum.

                              Fleabane - Erigeron .... something or other (not a daisy... I think as they're in a different genus). So many types, can't identify the specific variant. Hairy bittercress photobombing in the upper left corner and some speedwell in upper middle. Makes a change from Ivy and Lesser celandine!!
