East Kent and a Chalk Pit



Yesterday we set out for East Kent intent on finding day flying moths. We were ably chauffered by Mod Man. Lunch in hand we set off for our first stop - the Monkton Chalk Pit - (above sign is from the 'Pit'). Our first challenge was to find a "6 Belted Clear Wing" moth which is easily attracted to pheromones - attractants that are particularly irresistable to the male moth. No sooner had we set up shop than a moth came in and nearly bowled J-Rock onto the ground. "Crikey", he yelled, "there's one now!"
Resting on our laurels and bidding good bye to the friendly warden, Ron, we took off to parts further and westerly. More moths, plants, blackberries, apple orchards, birds, buttterflies and the requisite lunch all managed to fit on the agenda.
On other fronts, I must now look into why the catalogue company hasn't delivered MY bike but HAS delivered J-Rock's and DB's and a shackle lock. (All in separate shipments for some curious reason...).
Also, J-Rock drinking an inordinate amount of milk these days due to recent innovation in chocolate - (also available in strawberry I am told!)
