 Monday 5^th June

SHE SAID:

It was a rain filled day today.

We did have a short morning drive to one orchid location. We had about an hour look around & got pretty soaked. It was time to give up & go back to the van for a hot lunch, of eggs, bacon, baked beans & mushrooms.

We stayed warm & dry for the rest of the day inside Bertie.

A strange sight in the middle of the fields,
the Quindanning Hotel
"Ye Olde English Inn"

And the church next to the Quindanning Hotel

Red-veined Shell

Dark Banded Greenhoods (I think)

HE SAID:

My trusty warm jacket did a good job today, until I felt a couple of damp patches. I looked it up online and found that it was water resistant, not water-proof. I guess we got enough rain to cross its threshold. This is the first time I have felt any dampness wearing this jacket, so hopefully next time I will remember that it is not a miracle coat, and that the rain will eventually soak through.
