Who is Richard, our leader, talking to?
It's Les, who got caught up in Stroud's awful traffic jam, and has only just made it
We set off through the woods
A Salvador Dali-esque work of art, or just a pile of logs?
Our leader emerges into the long forgotten sunshine
And we follow
Though the Creamery is still in mist
No little pigs here now in Three Bears Wood
But plenty of chickens at Far Westrip Farm
And the cows seem to be enjoying the sun too
It's a slippery climb up from the farm
We wait at the top
And then it's coffee time
Ebley Mill still in a haze
Sunshine through the clouds
We descend
White Dead Nettle in flower
Blue sky, green field
Butterbur, Sue tells us
Catch a falling star (from St. John's in Randwick) - or maybe it's being taken down for Twelfth Night
Anything to do with the emissions scandal?
I don't know what caption to put here!
It's gone one o'clock but the mist hasn't cleared lower down
Light over Selsley Common
Whiteshill Village Car Park across the valley
As we puff our way up the Throat, we find the appropriately named Lungwort (Pulmonaria) in flower - but it doesn't help
The top!!
But it's bloomin' hard work getting there!
