Lovely Brian!
I was out on an audax ride yesterday and the verges were marvellous (Lancashire). If I'd stopped to take pictures (which I often do), I'd never have got round. Amongst the jewels were: Bluebells (Spanish and wild), wood anemones, forget-me-nots, purslane, archangel, wild garlic, stitchwort, violets and still lots of daffodils.
Glad you enjoyed your placement!
