The area is really lovely, as are the two pubs we frequented during our stay there, and it's always good to see somewhere new. Was most impressed by Maiden Lulu's local patch, as it puts essex to shame a bit. The river walk was beautiful despite the scary bridge. I was also excited to drive past here, due to some books I used to read when I was little :)
In invertebrate-related news, I had a lepidopterial first for me in the shape of a Comma, which was a nice surprise. As ever there were Meadow browns and ringlets everywhere, together with a whole pile of small/green veined whites and various skippers.
An actual Red Admiral being very obliging
Comma butterflyThis is a bit off-topic, but saw this in the news and thought it was pretty cool. My nan would love it anyway... Plenty of links for you to have fun with in this post.
