10. Walk Through A Wildflower Meadow



We went to Chimney Meadows hoping to see a lot of wildflowers.



It was a bit disappointing though, as the flowers nearly all seemed to be common ones like buttercups and daisies.



And there weren't that many even of them - the meadows were mainly composed of grasses.



This may of course have been a result of the peculiar weather we had this spring.



There were a few flowers to be seen though ...



... even though most of them were fairly common ones which we could have seen in our garden!



And it was quite a nice place to go for a walk, even if not as bright and colourful as I'd envisaged.



There were a few little gems I didn't recognise.



And most importantly, given that it's a wildlife haven, the insects seemed to be happy!
