Always a favourite on PBS. Looking forward to New Years Day and a 🇨🇦 conductor.

Large duck orchid (Caleana major) + sun orchid with spots (Thelymitra ixioides / Thelymitra juncifolia) near Karbeethong, E. Gippsland, VIC. Only made it down south on 3 mornings this spring but still managed to see a good range of the regular locals (plus several new orchids!) #orchids #inthefield

The bottle claims the beer will have: "fruit, raisin, treacle toffee, Christmas pudding and slight oaky flavours"

Microtis parviflora (slender onion orchid) growing amongst the sun orchids at the back of the house - Corunna, NSW. Grows here alongside Microtis unifolia (common onion orchid) which has shorter flowering stems with more crowded flowers at this location. #orchids #ozplants

On the sixteenth day of Christmas, my beer shop supplied to me:
16. Tartarus Beer's Krampus Christmas Cake Imperial Porter.
Robust in the extreme. A bit much for me, but packs one heck of a punch in a 330 ml can. . 6/10

Today is the feast of St Thomas of Canterbury, 12th Century English archbishop and martyr.
Here is a window from Canterbury Cathedral depicting his murder.

In late summer I take some time to look for the early stages of the Purple Emperor. Here are the first three - egg, first instar and second instar. Hopefully the third instar caterpillars are safely tucked up in a leaf scar or fork waiting for spring.

A lit candle burns where the tomb of St Thomas was located in Canterbury Cathedral, until it was destroyed during the reign of Henry VIII.

This is a 13th century window from St Mary, Nackington, Kent. A window so old, the craftsman who made it, may well have been alive when Thomas Becket was.
