The church holds bat evenings and a Primrose Weekend too.<br /><br />Glad you liked the leaf - as mentioned to Mandy above I am trying to press it as son who found it wants to put it in a frame its so unusual. Although perhaps I should put it on i-spot sooner rather than later it case it has got leaf mines in it! I got the blouse from H and M in the Spring - they also had leggings and another top but I resisted the other items!Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-19327530680056829372015-11-21T15:44:07.619-08:002015-11-21T15:44:07.619-08:00Thanks so much Mandy and no need for any apologies...Thanks so much Mandy and no need for any apologies about catching up - you have had a lot of your mind recently let alone the trip over here.<br /><br />Not surprisingly I couldn't resist the moth blouse! :) I put a photo of the leaf on twitter to try and find out what had made the markings - think possibly a leaf mine but no-one seemed sure. I will stick a photo on i-spot when I remember! (CRAFT moments happening far too often lately :( ). Am trying to press the leaf although perhaps that might be a bit unkind if there are leaf miners in it!<br /><br />I read in a wildlife magazine recently (can't remember which one I read so many and yet another CRAFT scenario!) about a wildflower meadow that was being created somewhere and they had no success due to problems with grass until they planted Yellow Rattle and bingo wildflowers flourished! So am hopeful :)<br /><br />Yes Feathered Thorns are a bit confusing - have to admit I had to double check id! I probably won't trap now for a while perhaps leave it until early March unless we have another mild spell.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-7795301451387277222015-11-21T15:06:51.819-08:002015-11-21T15:06:51.819-08:00I just love that moth blouse! What a lovely event ...I just love that moth blouse! What a lovely event it sounded. The leaf is quite extraordinary, and the 'mining marks' are so symmetrical.

Yo...Love the moth blouse and that leaf is gorgeous! You can understand about designers of various things getting inspiration from nature when you see things like that. So pleased your nasturtiums are making up for being so late starting! I hope your wildflower meadow is helped by the yellow rattle. And finally I had several Feathered Thorns last time I put my trap out - they confused me at first because they didn't look like Thorns, but I delved deeper and see they have a different Latin name, so maybe not so closely related as the other Thorns which have an unmistakable shape. <br />Sorry I'm taking so long to catch up!! :-)Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.com
