Was just looking forward to meeting up and getting in some quality plant and animal time, ( maybe fungi and ?? whatever else as it came along ) .  Now .... oh my goodness!! ;D

I thought you might like to see this little group from a walk along the Durham Coast today; and if that wets your appetite, then there were lovely Fragrant orchids, and Bees;

Oh, my word! What a grand variety of colours!   Really looking lovely... has there not been the awful wet weather there, Peter? They look so perfect.
