We have been trying to get out to Cheshunt, to see the orchids in the Lee Valley Park.

The are several trails and boardwalks . We took the train to Cheshunt and walked to where we thought the start of the walk was – we got it wrong :). Where we whould have turned left we turned right, but had a lovely walk along the river before turning back into Lee Valley.
Met up with a friendĀ for lunch in Waltham Abbey. She joined us for the orchid hunt and we managed to see some, but only at a distance. They are protected by a boardwalk which only goes out so far. Most of the orchids are quite a ways from the boardwalk. Still lovely.
We also saw loads of other flowers & animals. Lots of birds, lots of plants, and lots of pollen. Too much pollen. But the orchids were pretty.

Well, we haven’t been travelling so we haven’t been updating the blog. New house, less money to travel! So this year so far, instead of travelling, we have had our garden done with a large deck built out the back to make it easier to get in and out. And it’s lovely. So far we’ve had one large barbecue with friends, several for just us, and more planned.
Next, electrics!
