    Single flower of Barren Strawberry in Woodbury Park Cemetery. So called because although it looks like a wild strawberry it doesn't have an edible fruit

    Back in the 80s and 90s when I moth-trapped regularly this used to be an 'early spring' species (earliest record 12 March) not a 'late winter' one!

    William Penn, along with Algernon Sidney of Penshurst and Charles, Lord Camden, are part of an interesting group linking Tunbridge Wells & the adjacent High Weald with the founding of the USA. There's also John Locke who's on the subscription list for King Charles' Church

    William Penn, whose constitution for Pennsylvania was a source for that of the USA as a whole, has links with the Tunbridge Wells area as he lived for a time at Penn's in the Rocks, Withyham, named after his family.

    St ( or goddess, your call) Bridget is supposed to walk of the night of the 31st Jan, just before her feast on the 1st. You leave a candle lit for her. Looking at the , it's particularly poignant.

    I didn’t report this as my photos were so poor but on 3/12/19 I witnessed a failed attempt at mating between B.terrestris at Paignton in south Devon. The pictures show the queen and the pair (together for one minute max). At least this shows there were sexuals on this date.

    Charles I never visited Tunbridge Wells although Queen Henrietta Maria did in 1630. A monument commemorating her visit is said to have been destroyed by the opposing side in the Civil War.

    No one really knows why or how King Charles' church (opened 1678) came to be dedicated that way but it probably had a lot to do with 'branding'. Early Tunbridge Wells relied on marketing the visitor experience & emphasising its links with royalty played an important part in that
