I tell you what, I am very pleasantly surprised. I was expecting that my polite little protest about the fate of the early purple orchids at Fairy Cross would be ignored, and I was preparing myself to write a stream of vitriol about it.However, yesterday I had a telephone call from a very polite Civil Servant (should that be a civil Civil Servant?) and I am meeting him at Fairy Cross on wednesday....















In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

I congrtaulate you on your interest and actions Jon and glad they fell into place with the authorites-so far. I await further instalments with interest.
Orchids are beautiful, they delight and surprise. none more so, than the most I have ever seen, in the grounds and close to the hub of a rural sewage farm in Norfolk. For some reason I am the only one it seems who enjoy these. When I stop looking I fear they will disappear along with the fairies?
