Path to the flowers!

As predicted, the nice new path in Brook Wood at the Townfields end presently leads to the nicely flowering Large Bittercress colony. Following this are some pictures of the flowers, plus 7-spot Ladybirds, and pictures of the paths in the sunshine this morning. Yet another nice thing, though, was the comment of the passing dog walker who asked whether "The Trail" was muddy this morning!  It exists!  It was real to him!Don't miss it!

Again, don't miss it! And congratulations to everyone who has worked to make this possible  - George
