Even last winter this plant was already trying to escape over the wall. I posted a picture of the same plant a few weeks ago. It had fruit then.
This plant tried to escape over the wall in winter already, I found an older picture showing this. I might post it in the near future.
It seems everyone is in love with explore and few weeks ago
when I said something about how so many people love to post to certain
groups just to get to front page I hit a nerve with so many of my contacts,
and as a result they stay away from commenting which is fine that is your
option, I guess I have to choose my words more careful from now on
cause friendship is less important from being in your glory:-)
I took this 2 hours ago, I just wanted to get out,
Thank you all for your comments,

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

This Christmas it hasn't snowed yet here in Flanders, but it did in January of this year.

I just love the way the ridges show on that circle above the window,
For years I used lifesaver candies for the windows, no I do them with gelatin, I thing they are just perfect for windows,
Clue, they are many of those windows.
I sat in my study and heard birdsong. I had never heard this sound from outside before. I got up and looked out the window. This Zebra Finch (Taeniopygia guttata) sat on the windowsill. I carefully opened the window. He sat there for a moment, but moved in small jumps to the end of the windowsill. Then the Zebra Finch flew to the edge of the roof. It's an escaped Zebra Finch. I was late to catch the Zebra Finch. Unfortunately, I also don't know where the finch comes from so I am not able to warn the aviary keeper.
I hope he finds his way back safely. There are quite a few magpies active in our neighborhood

Saw these three doves munching on I know not by the kerb of a road until a car came along and the flew off and landed on a nearby roof . Not sure why but further on in my walk I came across another group of four or five white doves , so I am not sure where they have all come from .
L'abbaye de Cluny dite Cluny III , bâtie entre 1088 et 1130, était une église romane de dimensions exceptionnelles, avec ses 187 m de longueur pour une largeur de 90 m au niveau du transept, 7 clochers, et une hauteur de voute de plus de 30 m.
Elle était, à son époque, la plus grande église de la chrétienté, avant la construction cinq siècles plus tard de la basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome.
Elle fut surnommée Major Ecclesia (" La plus grande église").
L'abbaye de Cluny fut presque intégralement détruite à la Révolution Française, il n'en reste que 10 % environ de nos jours. Elle fut adjugée à un marchand, transformée en carrière de pierres et vendue ensuite par lots.
Les vandales démolisseurs iront jusqu'à mettre des explosifs au pied du grand portail roman à l'entrée de la nef, ainsi qu'aux piliers des tours pour faire s'écrouler l'ensemble !
Des restes de magnifiques sculptures romanes ont été récupérés et sont exposés dans le musée qui jouxte l'abbaye, ainsi que dans le Farinier, un bâtiment datant du 13ème siècle et toujours debout.

Cluny III - the destroy of an abbey
Cluny's Abbey called Cluny III, built between 1088 and 1130, was a Romanesque church of exceptional size, with its 187 m ( 614 ft) length , a width of 90 m (295 ft) at the transept, 7 bell towers, and a vault height of more 30 m (98 ft).
It was, in its time, the largest church in Christendom before the construction five centuries later of St Peter's Basilica in Rome.
It was also called Major Ecclesia ( "The largest church").
Cluny's Abbey was almost completely destroyed during the French Revolution, barely 10% of the abbey stands up nowadays. It was given to a merchant, turned into stone quarry and then sold in batches.
Barbarous demolishers will even put explosives at the foot of the huge Romanesque portal at the entrance of the nave, and at the pillars of the towers to let the whole collapse !!
Beautiful Romanesque sculpture remains were retrieved and are on display in the museum that adjoins the abbey, and in the Farinier, a building from the 13th century still up.
