#MappyMonday: Skunkvine, an invasive species, grows rapidly and forms dense mats over shrubs, trees, and groundcover blocking sunlight, reducing photosynthesis, stunting growth and eventually killing native plants. The plant is named for its skunk-like odor.

I will never cease to be grateful that my job allows me the opportunity to work with things as beautiful as this 1785 map of Essex.
Just stop and consider the care and attention to detail here and the pleasure that the cartographer must (surely?) have felt in a job well done...

Most Orcadians are clear about one thing. You can call their homeland 'Orkney' or 'the Orkney Islands' but NEVER 'The Orkneys'.
Quite what they would make of early 18th century cartographer Herman Moll's use of the term 'Orkneyshire' I really wouldn't like to say... 😱
