Dry Morning, we saw Sue and the Tribe and walk with them for a while - Sue was off to a show with the dogs, we carried on and came back through Burgh Wood to check the Touch Me Not Balsam.

This Chicken of the Wood has appeared on this stump for the last three years, we have never tried it and it either rots away or the kids destroy it. Maybe one day.

This is what I wanted to see our own native balsam spreading - there is a bit of Himalayan about hopefully it will not get among this.
