On 13th May I found plenty of insects at Rewell Wood. The following day to took Bea, Jackie and Sue to Cocking for the Murray Downland Trust's annual plant sale fundraiser, held in sculptor Philip Jackson's garden. He had changed the sculptures since last year and we enjoyed tea with home-made cakes and a garden tour. In the afternoon I revisited Rewell Wood again.
