Ground Level

Got up & forced myself to get out in the fresh air. I visited Ragpits which is famous for its array of orchids. I knew that I was too early for orchids but thought I might spot some cowslips and butterflies. No butterflies but lots of Cowslips, plus lots of (Edible) Roman Snails - bigguns they are - the size of a golf ball some of them - see extra & link:

.Whilst I was there I saw three other people - two had come to find orchids; I told them to come back in a month & the other chap was looking for the Early Purple Orchid  see here:

I hadn't seen one but he went off to search anyway

Back then via the chemist..soon it will be lunch time, then hopefully a nice lounge around in the garden as the sun is shining.
