Drosophyllum lusitanicum, the only insectivorous plant native to Spain, not the best photo as I was conscious of the fact that I was trespassing at the time, and as all that know me I do like to adhere to the rules, regulations and laws of everywhere, especially when they carry guns Serapia lingua, the tongue orchid, supposedly the commonest of the tongue orchids, but the first I've ever encountered Dactylorhiza romana, the Roman orchid in it's pale yellow form, another that eluded me until yesterday

Came face to face with this chap while taking photos of plants, an amiable little chap, though his parents weren't that friendly I think this is a Green Hairstreak, not exactly in the best of conditions And this beauty is a Southern Festoon that stayed still long enough for me to snap

Good luck Steve, the weather here in the last week or so has been appalling, hope to get into the countryside next week to go orchid spotting. Can't get close enough to the wildlife here, they are all so wary as the Spanish shoot everything that moves. Hope to post a few more shots soon, wind and rain permitting. Dave

Not Had A Natter About Watches For A While
I'm currently wearing a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Quartz as I had my Bulgari one stolen from the studio. Usually wear a Timex water resistant automatic that I bought at a car boot still in it box for £2 or a gold Waltham International from the early 1950's. I have a Russian chronograph watch too and a few others tucked away in drawers that haven't seen the light of day for years.

My first foray into the mountains above Marbella yesterday plant hunting, a bit early, but a couple of pleasant surprises. The first orchids are just out, this is the Sawfly orchid, Ophrys tenthredinifera. This is the sombre bee orchid, Ophrys fusca. This is the almond tree, in full bloom and beautifully scented, Prunus dulcis. Finally, it's the only plant that I know of that has a tenuous link to Northern Soul, Wigandia urens.

Tunes That Can Bring You To Tears
Patrice Holloway - Stolen Hours Linda Jones - Just Can't Live My Life But probably most of all Rita and the Tiaras - Gone With The Wind Is My Love, only because she sang a cappella to a handful of us fortunate to be in the studio when she was being interviewed at Prestatyn, and Kev Moore managed to get her to sign a record sleeve for me, yippee!
