Butterflies at Wisley RHS


Until Feb 26th in the large glasshouse at Wisley there are butterflies, hundreds maybe thousands of them flying and flapping around. a suggestion would be to avoid weekends as there was also a queue of 45 minutes to get in when we arrived and a queue of over 60 minutes by the time we left. An amazing sight it is though. It seemed everyone had cameras. Would thoroughly recommedn a visit. Here are a few photos to show you what you might see.

Travel in UK


This morning it took me 47 minutes to travel 3 miles down the A3. Reason? A broken down coach blocking one lane of a two lane underpass at Hook in Surrey. Judging by the amount of traffic this has happened some time before. So, what Herculean efforts were going on? after all this was the rush hour on a wednesday morning. Well, one bored looking man standing next to the coach with a truck that looked like it would struggle to transport a small car let alone a coach. The coach had emblazoned on the back Oak Coache. I thought I would type into google the company name to see if there was anything interesting. a search revealed potentially there were 41.1 million interesting things. On narrowing things down and looking for Oak Coaches, there is such a company based in New Malden and the website invites folks to ” write a review”.  However on maybe 10 minutes searching, it seemed no website and no e-mail address could be found. Unusual for a business?
