Didsbury in Bloom. On entering the village the efforts of local people to enhance the environment with planted containers are evident and striking. What a difference living plants with flowers make to the inanimate hardness of the objects that cluster next to our roads! And Wilmslow Road is a whacking thoroughfare taking thousands of cars and heavier vehicles in and out of Manchester every day. Pedestrians who necessarily have to enter the maelstrom can take moments of enjoyment from the pockets of greenery. Different coloured wheelie bins tell us that rubbish collection is now a sophisticated process and also attests to the threat to the environment that the life of homo sapiens poses. Gone are the days of dumping it all in a convenient gigantic hole and forgetting about it.
