Ferring Rife with Blues and Whites

Following Siwe’s visit at lunchtime I decided to disappear for and hour or so to Ferring Rife. It turned into a lovely afternoon and the blackberries were big, juicy delicious ones by the meadow. Plenty of interesting plants and critters and well worth visiting again.
