Saturday 15 November

A good morning and we wandered all over.

All the fungi has been ID by my expert friends - they will say enthusiastic amateurs, well they are good.

 I can't say I have seen this before so another first, there was only one among the roots of a Sycamore Bulbous Honey Fungus - Armillaria gallica

The path to Lowes Tenement Farm

 Photographer setting up for a long wait - hoping for a shot of the trout or salmon jumping.

On Silver Birch, Glistening Inkcap - Coprinellus micaceus

 Sulphur Tuft - Hypholoma fasciculare var. fasciculare

 Tansy - Tanacetum vulgare

 

It was only the other day I found out the name of the cottage that once stood here, I am stood on what was the fire/oven looking out toward the weir, it was called Whet Stone Cottage, demolished in the 50/60s

Flowering again Bramble - Rubus fruticosus

Saturday 2 November

Damp morning 

 Sheep in the Sunny Brow Field - look a nice healthy flock.

We headed for Dry Bones 

Saw no one on our way - strange how some days there are lots of people on the footpaths, I often wonder what triggers the urge to get up and walk?

Tansy - Tanacetum vulgare still in flower - well this little patch was

Tuesday 20 August

Dry Morning

Found this Common Evening-primrose - Oenothera biennis hidden behind the lamp post, not far from the tomato that was growing out of the nick in the pavement, I can only think the seeds are being carried on the wind, none of the local gardens have Evening Primrose.

Even though it is called Common Evening Primrose it has become a bit of a rarity so I have sent details off to the county recorder.

 Moorhen

 Fishladder

 These steps use to be the only way down to the weir area but since the new wheelchair path has been built it is not the most popular way.

 Tansy - Tanacetum vulgare this is the place for herbs the old cottage gardens.

Apples near Dry Bones don't know if these are bakers or eaters time will tell.
