Amsterdam Russ Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 A trip to the pancake house in the Amsterdam woods on a sunny day is always a favourite thing to do. Always great to see a peacock in full display. The one here was quite happy to show off for a good three or four minutes. These pics were taken with my iPhone.

Slate Quarry, the second, a panoramic of a distant Snowdon, the pointy "Welsh Matterhorn" - Cnicht & the Moelwyns.

Dicentra spectabilis, the white one has alba added on the end, it's relatively easy for me to remember them, I read Stern's Botanical Latin when I was 10.

Well, as they're quite nomadic they may be a different family, but I like to think they're the ones I feed regularly. I was expecting them back from hibernation a little sooner, but I'm very honoured and pleased to have them visiting nightly again. All the best mate. Pete

One half is garlic bread. Actually so is the other, except it has tomatoes squidged on it. Or in other words, a yeasted flat artisan bread, lightly spread with churned and salted organic butter, seasoned with bulb of garlic and shards of parsley herb, served with a partial vine ripened tomato jus.
