The second paragraph to the second subheading, Kelp and sea lettuce, alerts us to a "dressing of cider apple vinegar and walnut oil."

What does such a dressing look like and taste like?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your comment Feb. 20, 2023, mentions "the large expanses of Finland in East Anglia."

Why might a part of East Anglia be named after Finland?

The computer crashes every time I course the cursor over the in-text images for artistic attributions.

Might you have that information available?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous question.

The third sentence in your introduction advises us of a three-year cycle between Tatton Show appearances.

So everybody knows when the next Tatton will be.

But might everyone know where that next Tatton will be?

Thank you for your comment below about snakes in Grimm Brothers' fairy tales.

Both The white snake and The three snake-leaves are available online through grimmstories.com.

It's disappointing and surprising to me that The white snake includes the description of fishes as "dumb." A fish is smart enough to know how to survive under water!

Might you have come across that observation?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous question about any fairy tales about such animals as mosquitoes, sharks, snakes as "dark-side" animals.

The search term Komar Zz brought, under wikisource,org, Komar Zz - Wikivir. The latter contains a "Translate this page" option.

It's interesting how the newborn mosquito interprets people as friendly even as he is without any awareness of the pain (or the virus?) inflicted by his bite.

One phrase isn't translated into English: pazzzi no malo. Putting the search term "pazzzi no malo means" in Slovenian invokes the English translation "Wait a little."

Might that be correct?

The Three Snake-Leaves and White Snake. Maybe more.

Her name is Svetlana Makarovic, the title is Komar Zz (Mosquito Zz). I don't know if the story is translated into English. It was written around 1970.

It might. Creating wetlands as soft shore defences is thought to be a good method of coastal defence.

People journeyed to Britain at the end of the Ice Age frommSpain, mainland Europe and across Doggerland, which was the yet to be flooded North Sea

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

The last paragraph begins with the sentence that "The book is a sustained analysis of domestic life in Britain from the Mesolithic age, when humans returned to the island after the Ice Age, up to an epilogue which discusses post-Roman Britain."

Is it known where people journeyed to from Ice-Age Britain?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observations and questions.

Sea-level rise intrigues me. Is there anything to do against it? Might it be possible to build shorelines upward?

They can be deadheaded like other flowers, but petals routinely shed bits.

The south is richer than other areas, and as the Conservatives rule in the interests of the rich the rich tend to vote for them.

Research. The cricket bat willow is a subspecies that only flourishes in a small area of Eastern England. I do not think that it would flourish elseware.
