| Woodchurch Road, Shadoxhurst |
In fields neighbouring Shadoxhurst there has been a lot of Flax (Linseed oil) grown this year. The blue-flowered Flax looked at its best during May - the flowers have just about gone now. Perhaps, just because of its more subtle colour, it has a more pleasing effect on the landscape than the fields of oil seed rape that neighbour us.
A few notes from the garden and pictures taken in-between the bank
holiday rain showers. The Red-tailed Bumble Bees are visiting the last of the season
Water Avens. Before I forget; in the garden pond we have discovered a female
adult Great Crested Newt, the first one for at least 5 years.

| In the paddock behind the garden - there's the occasional horse rivalry going on. |
Out in Orlestone Forest again, and when the sun shines the occasional Grizzled Skipper can be seen.

... and on a big cycle ride around Orlestone forest today we found this magnificent 'Chicken in the Woods' fungus fruiting on an oak tree.
