Unusual plant fair

With heavy showers rolling through, the larger trees at GWH provided a convivial meeting point for those of us without umbrellas!!

But it eventually dried out  and was nice enough to sit out in the sun with a cheese burger from the BBQ tent but sadly no onsite-brewed beer for me.

Wildlife was pretty much nil with just a Kestrel chasing a Buzzard, one kite and two Swifts. The first, very tiny, Pyramidal Orchid and Yellow Rattle plus a Roe Deer (below) whilst I was standing next to a signboard telling me to lookout for Roe Deer!!

And this sentence from Christopher Somerville, read whilst having a coffee, sums things up nicely:-

"For the hundredth time this year, it's borne in on me how very little I know about everything I see"
