| An interesting article Jam Lady, thanks for posting. It seems a very good idea to move the car parking away from the grove, and it looks as if they might have raised walkways in some areas too. Must b ... |

| Went to our usual place looking for bee orchids. Lots of pyramid, and found rock rose and milkwort, but no bee orchids. Anyone know if they are late this year, or is it a bad year for them? |

I have seen something about this before. Cows love tree bark; we cut some hedging once and left it within reach of some cows and came back to find it virtually stripped.
