Well we, that is Liz and myself have just had a fabulous day out at Polsden Lacey. The sun shone, butterflies were everywhere, we walked just short of five miles and it was just about perfect. The crowning point was finding Pyramidal Orchids all over the place. Knowing that they were there, we went prepared with a very small lightweight tripod and a macro lens; see above. The above plant is flowering with about a thousand others on Worzel Bank, which is very close to Yew Tree farm. They are at the top of the field near the bench, if you have a chance go, it is worth the effort.

This week also meant the end of a month working with the NHS. It was fantastic being able to be with those amazing staff who cared for us all during the past year or so of this pandemic. As wonderful as it was, I must admit that after the last month, to being a little tired, so for a few days I am easing off a little with everything.

Tonight fish and chips with friends, then collapse in front of the telly; lovely.

See you soon.
