Beautiful Bee Orchids, Minchinhampton Common, Cotswolds 17/06/2012

It was great to find more Bee Orchids in flower this year than last and that there were some larger and healthier specimens about . They really are amazing, colourful and detailed flowers for something so small. Please click on the photos once and then a second time to see them in full quality.

50 years later ... my parents golden wedding party. Then and now photos.

The wedding was June 2nd 1962 , the party June 2nd 2012.

It was wonderful that all the bridesmaids and the best man could attend the party exactly 50 years later.
