The Botanical Society of the British Isles ran a New Year “Big Pant
Hunt” – and people were invited to go on an up to 3 hour walk where
they live between 1st and 4th Jan,
I submitted 2 sets of results
1. the Settle Harriers Winter Handicap on 3 Jan 7 miles loop
from Clapham
– where I saw nothing in flower on the run, but 2 plants back at
Clapham http://rainforest-save.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/bsbi-new-year-plant-hunt-part-1-clapham.html
2. A three hour, 1 mile (very stiff) walk round Settle on the 4th
where I recorded 14 wild plants in flower, 2 almost wild and three
garden escapes. See some of them here:
http://rainforest-save.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/bsbi-new-year-plant-hunt-part-2-settle.html
And yes, we had a great Settle Community Christmas Day Meal on 25 Dec.
Thank you to all who came, to all the helpers and especially to
Christine Enever the Chef, and to the builders and people of St John’s
who worked hard to get the hall ready for Christmas. 48 of us enjoyed
a wonderful meal and festivities.
