Picnic on Hampstead Heath

Just got back from a picnic on Hampstead Heath, we had pork pie from Borough Market and pate from Sainsburys...

Here are a selection of pictures, I wanted to see if I could do a blog the same day that I took the photographs, I hope you enjoy...

Made in Portugal, part 7 (Creatures)

This blog was going to be called "Insects", but with 4 pictures in tonights edition and two of them containing either a gastropod or a chilopod, that was hardly the most encompassing of titles now was it?

I'd never seen so many creatures - be they insects, spiders or lizards (no decent pictures of these I'm afraid) - as I had during this holiday, one thing that struck me was how wasps would leave you alone, something I'm pining for now that our belated summer has begun here...

We christened these insects 'stupid bugs' for their tendency to fly kamikaze style into walls, swimming pools and holidaying Englishmen.
