Good luck with your Brimstone hunting, a couple more bright days left!
Visited Stour Wood today. Although it’s not too far, and is in Essex, it does involve driving which is probably against the rules, so it is likely to be the furthest I will go for a while. The woods main attraction in early spring is it’s wonderful carpet of wood anemones, a sight to behold! They usually flower in early April, so are a few days early this year.
Gorse also grows nearby. I usually see it in Cornwall, but there’s no chance of me getting down there at the moment. But it grows in Essex, too, especially in areas where the soil is a bit drier. On a spring day like this, with strong sunshine, the scent is glorious!
