Hello Everyone

Please all join in the National Butterfly Count if you can that runs from today. They just ask you to spend for 15mins a day on a sunny day in your garden or parks etc, and report the findings

Please refer to the details on their Website where you can print off a coloured, clear identifying sheet to assist you.

We have had many varieties in our garden of late - Commas. Peacocks, Red Admirals and many Moths

Also we saw flying nearby, the very pretty but lethal "Boxus Moth" in our garden and along Bexhill seafront gardens of all places!

They are so pretty - white with lilac/pale blue/gray stripes on their wings - but will destroy a Boxus hedge when they lay their eggs and their Caterpillars have a great feed on your hedges! - we lost most of our hedges that way last year! Beware!

Have fun!

Hello Everyone

How pleasant the weather has been today, since the early rain this am after the intense heat of the last few days ! I found it so hard to cope with the intensity of the rays this year, as anytime we tried to do anything around the garden; in the shade where possible. the heat was just too over powering . I do so hope you all coped better than me!

Anyway onto why I am in touch so soon.

Are there any more of you who would like to come with us on the garden visit as booked for July 29th to Broad Street House Broad Street Ickelsham at 10.30am?

Only 7 people have so far booked and I am unsure at this time whether the owner will accept such a small number. Please let me know if you would like to come along please without delay as we need numbers by the end of this week to confirm all to the owner.

NB Owner Sally is keen that we arrive around 10.30 ( was adv.as 11am) and we will meet you all there.

All Welcome to join us and refreshments included in this visit which is FREE to members and £5 for any visitors please

Thank you for letting me know without delay

Also please note Oliver has now completed the Autumn Flower Show Schedule which; from tonight will be downloaded to the website

Thanks so much

Please keep in touch
