 Wednesday 2^nd August

SHE SAID:

Another surprisingly low orchid-finding day. We did see Donkeys, Blue Beards & a single Eastern Queen of Sheba, thankfully. The dry conditions must be either slowing down the growth or stopping them coming at all.

Geoff did a half day, whilst I persisted with a morning & afternoon outing, finding a few more orchids, mostly Greenhoods & Snails.

Skull in the burn

Wildflowers are coming out,
as are the Banksias

The ever colourful Eastern Queen of Sheba

HE SAID:

We went to several sites this morning, but for not much reward. We were back at the van for a late-ish bowl of soup before Varena zoomed out again.

I tried speaking with Mum in the afternoon, but she was struggling with the phone, and then her dinner turned up, so I'll try again tomorrow. She seems to be getting slightly better, but still needs a lot of improvement before she can return home.
