First Day Back!
Pyramidal Orchids
It’s my first day back to work after nearly 2 weeks in sunny France.
Feeling refreshed and inspired I thought it might be a good time to start blogging. (Especially as Colin was good enough to keep my desk clear while I was away!)
I thought I would share the fact that I actually looked forward to coming to work this morning. And before you think ‘what a creep’ and delete this, it’s not because I’m a workaholic, or because the work is so much fun, or even because I fancy one of the girls in the office.
It’s because I’m lucky enough to have the Mendips on our doorstep and I get to spend my lunch hour walking up to Dolbury Warren.
Owned by the Woodland Trust and the National trust, this is a beautiful area and if you like walking or mountain biking you should check it out.
Even though I had a great holiday, walking, cycling, kitesurfing, drinking and generally chilaxing, I still missed my ‘local haunt’.
During the different seasons I get some great views and see some interesting wildlife. I have also managed to get some good images, some of which I will post.
Today’s observations were:-
I was pleased to see that the dozens of Pyramidal Orchids haven’t yet gone over.
I still haven’t found any sign of the Bee Orchids. (Any advice welcome)
I picked up a Slow Worm, which poo’d on me, charming!
The trail was dry and it was warm and sunny.
I will write again if I see anything of interest. Paul

Glad you are back Paul, I did the ‘walk’ with Hamish last week while you were away and with his long legs he takes one stride to my two. I was a bit puffed out going up that hil! Sue
