159-365v4 It must be nearly Wimbledon

The wild strawberries grow well in our small garden – I’ve included a shot of the flower earlier this year so it is only right that I keep you up to date with their progress. With the number of birds (not to mention the 2 remaining rats) that live and

158-365v4 No Idea!

On this morning’s walk I was on the look out for Poppies. We don’t have a poppyfield anywhere near Dunmow (as far as I know), but we do have poppies growing on the roadside and it is those I was looking for. I found some and photographed them but then
