Saw these violets on Dartmoor this afternoon nr Saddle Tor / Emsworthy Mire (1st two images). Growing in short turf.

I neglected to photograph the leaves (sorry).
Probably just common dog violets ... any thoughts?
Saw some Marsh Violets in the mire and Bogbean starting to flower.

Visited Dawlish Warren today I’m happy to report that the Sand Crocuses are flowering! Tiny but so beautiful.

Steeling myself for 2 flights to get to Auckland - 7hrs to Dubai and then (gulp) 16hrs 10 mins to AKL.
According to Wikipedia Emirates operates 116 of these monsters.

Well, here I am - nice to see quite a few friends here too.

After days of gloomy weather it was nice to see a glimpse of blue sky (weekend before last) ...
