Well I think you deserve one!
Not exactly related to the day but I had intended to post you more pictures on Wednesday but it was late and I was tired so you missed out. So I've selected a few pics from Wednesday's looong walk into the Gloucestershire countryside and I'd like to share them with you now. There are some wild flowers, some wild life as well as a colliery and a hill fort none of which was more than four miles from where I'm sat! If you have any questions or simply want to share your thoughts just leave a comment below.
So without further ado, a walk in South Gloucestershire:-
Enjoy

you like the butterfly?
Madeline Anafrid Bell
Aye I did.
And the other one too. We get Peacock butterflies visiting the buddleia but of course that is barely growing yet.

A favourite of mine
Peacock butterflies. If you have read my "Too Little, Too Late?" you may remember that James (with ASD) had a name for it: an Eye Eye Fly.
"This is an eye-eye-fly. That’s my name. But there is an aye-aye that’s a lemur and they are primates in Madagascar and this is a butterfly which is not a primate but an insect"
That does ring a bell.
Did you know that insect has four legs?

Like lots of our colourful ones, red admiral, tortoiseshell and the like.

As you say Mad's
We pass these places every day walking or riding but it's not until you capture them in the intensity of a photograph that the beauty out there can be more accurately appreciated.
A picture says a thousand words.

Now I miss England all over again!
Was a bit further North in Yorkshire, but I miss the fields of daffodils in the spring!
Also all the blackberries along the lane in Pately Bridge!

that's a grand bit of GOC, just a few miles from where my daughter and GS live. Me an' Pod were just down the valley last year for the cycling world champs, I even rode up through the Rhodadendrons on one of my sportive rides two year back.
Its nice down here but I'd still rather be in GOC, sigh!
