I remember that photo...the mulberry tree...and the rhyme we used to chant, as children....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_We_Go_Round_the_Mulberry_Bush

we used to conflate 'mulberry bush' with the MOD...go figure...

hmmm...linked to silk worms, as well....my mother used to say that as a child...she used to keep them in a matchbox...sounds a bit like 'grubby colin' doesn't it?

let me see....dazzlenation knows something about this...the Chinese connection....oriental interiors...linked to the man that I was to meet...at the law university....in shanghai...go figure.
