Recovery

i've just started reading The World Without Us.

A book that asks how [and how quickly] the world would change... and would it be 'restored' should humans disappear tomorrow.

It has the clever little animation on the website where a house is gradually overtaken by nature. click on 'your house without you'

I love that fact that nature moves in when things die out... hence the text 'the ants around his grave are comforting'....The grass around Tony's grave has actually been incredibly slow to grow. For some reason that was always disappointing. He is buried right on a corner so maybe a lot of people walk across his patch of grass to get to their friends/relatives.

I haven't been to the cemetary for a while. I hope the grass is greener and thicker next time. At least the ants will be there.
