there is just one clump of common comfrey growing wild. It is very strange how plants seem to prefer one small area year after year. No bird's nest orchids yet but we have seen signs of the fritillary spreading out from where it was released.

more comfrey

nettles
this is a close up of the flowers of a stinging nettle. It is surprisingly complicated for such an unpopular plant. I think these are the male flowers but I am not sure. My rough coat is extremely resistant to the sting but I have noticed the boss's thin skin is not. At the rate we are going the only plant left will be the nettle.
my friends next door
Today I got an enormous surprise, a card and a bag full of fantastic presents from my friends next door Imogen and Eleanor. I must say they are the very nicest people I have ever met. This is a picture of their enchanted house on a bright moon lit night. Harriet and I will stand on the wall and say thank you very loudly.
