After more than a week ...

---

.... I'm finally beginning to show some signs of improvement in my battle with the nasty fever I brought back with me from Borneo.  There's still some way to go, but at least I have been able to get out into the garden today, and this morning I found enough energy for us to spring clean the conservatory which is quite a big step forward. 

There is a fine display of pyramidal orchids (left) in our field this year, but

the Bee Orchids (above), which are usually equally numerous, are almost absent.  After some searching, this was the only one I could find.
