Snake's Head Fritillary

The snake's head fritillary is a rare wild flower that can be found, for a short period of time, on Iffley Meadow in Oxford. Another friend - Andrea - had her birthday yesterday so Kate and I brought her down to the meadow to admire them and play around with the camera timer to get a rare photo of us all together. Afterwards we tasted a local gin in our G&Ts at the Isis next to the meadow which was packed with people I knew.

Nottingham tomorrow for a long day as a rowing mum....
