Michigan State Police Grand Rapids Post Troopers responded to a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of Fulton Street and Peartree Lane, west of Crahen Avenue/Forest Hills Avenue. The preliminary investigation indicates a Ford Fusion driven by a 59-year-old man from Ada may have experienced a medical emergency, causing the vehicle to drift into the westbound lanes of Fulton Street. The Ford then collided with a white pickup truck driven by a 30-year-old woman from Lowell. Following the initial impact, the pickup truck was rear-ended by a gray sedan. Emergency responders evaluated those involved at the scene. The crash remains under investigation, but a medical emergency is believed to be a contributing factor. The roadway has been cleared and traffic has returned to normal. Motorists are reminded that medical emergencies can occur unexpectedly. If you experience symptoms that could impair your ability to drive, safely pull over and seek medical assistance as soon as possible.

The Peartree Inn, Cherry Orchard, Old Hill 1965 (known locally as Freddy's) was demolished in 1968. #RIP
Step us back in time to the Peartree Inn, in Old Hill, Cradley Heath, in 1958 and bare witness to the days when the British pub was a cheap, reliable gathering spot for the people of Britain. Demolished in 1968, the memory of this building, like many others, is an example of how embedded, and how imperative Britain's lost and living pubs have always been to the people of the Anglo-Celtic Isles. ⏳️🍻

Animal lovers rush to protect Canada Geese who may have to be killed at Milton Keynes beauty spot The Canada geese at Milton Keynes Marina hit the headlines last year when a pair of resident swans adopted a clutch of tiny goslings and raised them as their own – earning them the title of the world’s first ‘swoslings’. But the swoslings have now multiplied and, according to bosses at the Peartree Bridge-based marina, they are becoming a downright nuisance. The marina is now considering culling the growing Canada goose population by using its rights under GL41, a licence issued by Natural England that permits landowners, occupiers, and authorised persons to kill certain species of wild birds to preserve public health or public safety. Local residents have confirmed that Canada geese have lived, nested, and raised young at the marina for decades… They have made it clear that many people living around the marina actively enjoy having the geese there and consider them part of the character of the area,” said founder Allie Humphries. She added: “The birds involved are part of a long-established population which has coexisted with residents without any previously identified issue requiring action. Why has it only now become a problem after more than 30 years of the birds living and breeding there? Clear answers are needed regarding exactly what measures are being proposed, whether those measures relate only to future preventative nesting management, whether any action is being considered against existing birds or active nests, and what legal and evidential basis is being relied upon.” The Citizen spoke to the management at MK Marina, whose spokesperson confirmed that action to curb the Canada goose population was being considered, although no definate plans have yet been made. "All options will be explored and we reserve the right to do what we have to do within the law,” he said. He added: The Canada geese are a nuisance and an invasive species. They kill whole clutches of baby ducklings and I have to fish the dead bodies out of the water. Fifty plus duckling have been killed this year.” However, MK Swan Rescue say the main killers of tiny ducklings are crows and seagulls, who naturally prey on the creatures at the marina. The managers says there are “hordes” of the geese at the marina causing problems with noise and fouling and prompting complaints from boaters. But MK Swan Rescue volunteers insisit there are only around half a dozen of them, some of which nest in gardens of neighbouring properties. Allie said: “Canada geese may divide opinion, but they remain protected wild birds, and any management of them must be lawful, proportionate, justified, transparent, and humane.” The marina spokesperson said: “The whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” he said. “Yes, we may have to reduce the Canada goose population, as we are legally entitled to, but killing them would be a last resort.”

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." I cannot seem to get away from the Bard at the moment. This quote from the Balcony Scene in Romeo and Juliet came to mind when I remembered this study of a Scarce Swallowtail (yes, that is its real name) from my book "World of Embroidery" (2002). Confusingly, the Scarce Swallowtail is not at all rare, whilst the "Common" or "Old World" Swallowtail is extremely rare (even more so in the UK). The former, has an abundance of food stuffs readily available for its caterpillar ... members of the Rosaceae (rose) family, of which there are hundreds, including hybrids and cultivars, to choose. Its Old World relative breeds almost exclusively on the most uncommon variants of the parsley family. Hence, "Peartree" Swallowtail, as in France the many pear orchards of old (and present)were filled with these beauties. The name "Sail" Swallowtail describes the sails of the great sailing ships of the past and, conveniently, also the butterfly's habit of sailing, or gliding, in its flight, where others of its kind are vigorous wing beaters. Like many other colourful, multi-patterned butterflies it is regarded in many traditions as a messenger between the world, and specifically as a mystical healer. Their Latin names, Machaon and Podalirius: In Greek mythology, Machaon (the Common Swallowtail) and Podalirius (the Scarce Swallowtail) were the sons of Asclepius, the god of medicine. Both brothers were legendary healers and surgeons who fought for Greece in the Trojan War. If you are fortunate enough to see either of these glorious creatures when recently the victim of an injury, you should, apparently, ask their blessing for a speedy recovery! More of Swallowtails next time! #embroidery #EmbroideryWhisperer

🎙 Lewis Hamilton on Arsenal lifting the Premier League title..... 🗣“I think for everyone, very emotional. I shed a tear, to be honest, because I remember I was five years old and I used to play in the local park in Stevenage in Peartree Way. “I used to play around the corner football with friends and I was the only black kid in the area, out of the people that I was playing with. And I remember trying to fit in and all of them supported West Ham and Tottenham and Manchester [United or City]. “So I was bouncing between all these when I was like four or five years old depending on who I was with. And my sister, I remember exactly, I messaged her the other day, she was walking me home and she asked me what team I supported and she gave me a dead arm back then. “She gave me a little dig in my arm and said you have to support Arsenal. So we had a laugh yesterday about it.” [via ESPN] #afc
