Safe haven
After a terrential downpour we took shelter at the wonderfully friendly (and warm!) Le De Spencers Arms. A sunday roast and numerous cups of tea later (and beer of course!) we were ready to brave the elements again!

The middle of this flower looks like a tightly rolled ball of spaghetti! Would love to find out what it actually is. The hairy exterior held onto the dew drops late into the morning, long after the other flowers around it had dried off.
