Vegetation visions

I glimpsed into our future today. The future of Mark, Lucy, Jamie and myself. I foresaw that we would be all living together in Bournemouth and that we will all be very busy and hard at work 24/7. And that under no circumstances, will we have any opportunity to do any gardening. And the back garden will look like THIS:


So many... Weeds and dandelions... How could this happen?! It was a stark reminder to me that one day, when man-kind has become only a distant memory to the universe, plants and vegetation will live on. Covering and devouring every man-made structure from the corner shop down your road to the Great Wall of China. We humans and our little gardening gloves and lawn mowers are basically all that stand in the way of letting nature take on its beautiful, destructive course; until one day, everything will look like this:

An abandoned Japanese theme park
Frightening stuff really.

But I got over it after hacking back the long grass - it was pretty easy actually.
