I don’t know where you plan to go, but the fritillaries in Iffley Meadows are better than ever this year. They are just coming up to full bloom, so they should still be good next weekend.

That’s a great suggestion, Sue - why didn’t I think of that! 
Is Saturday a good day for you @ramblingjohn @RichardBuck @rachaelseculer-faber ?
Hwyl, John
The most concentrated patches were at the places marked with F, but there were plenty of odd flowers elsewhere too. There were two fine patches of cowslips next to Weirs lane.

Saturday looks good (weather) would midday meet at the station be good for people
cheers J.P.
Grêt! Diolch yn fawr, Sue!
Yes, that would be fine for me, JP

Yn anffodus iawn we’ll be spending Easter with grandparents in the Cotswolds: we’re probably not going until Saturday, so if the walk were on Friday I/we could make it, but if it looks like Saturday suits everybody else I shall just say mwynhewch y brithegion

Ideally I’d like to be back in West Oxford by 2pm for a music thing, but if that’s not possible it’s okay

Maybe you could cut through to Abingdon Rd via Donnington Bridge on the way back and get a bus from there to get back a bit earlier?
Train times might make it difficult for @ramblingjohn to make an earlier start but we can ask him - JP?
I should be able to make it an hour earlier (11 am meet at station)by the bull.
Cheers J.P.
Diolch JP - let’s make it 11:00am by the bull statue then.
Hopefully that should solve the problem @rachaelseculer-faber
Hwyl, John

Don’t forget 
11:00am is when we’ll be meeting up for tomorrow’s riverside walk to Iffley Meadow (Easter Saturday) ! 
Meet by the bull statue opp. Oxford Station entrance steps - from there we’ll be heading downstream along the Thames towpath - and, as always, all welcome!
From last year’s Iffley Meadow walk, a taste of things to see tomorrow:
Britheg (brithegion)/snakes-head fritillaries

Glad to see from another thread that Iffley Meadow was as good this week as it was last week.

Yes, the britheg(fritillaries) and briallu mair(cowslip) were certianly still doing there stuff as @ramblingjohn’s photos show What’s outside (BBOWT says there are 89,000 fritillaries there!)
For our next walk+sgwrs, how does everyone feel about Sat 11th May? Let me know what you think
Hwyl, John
If Sat 11th May doesn’t work for people, this coming May Day bank holiday weekend, 4/5/6 May, or Sun 12th are also possibilities. Do let me know if you think you might be interested @cat-1 @RichardBuck @Betterlatethan @rebecca @rachaelseculer-faber @jane-18 @bethan-williams-1 @mouselovinlady @Laura_P_87 @s-coates1 and anyone else who’s contemplating joining us
Hwyl, John
PS Partners & plantos welcome, of course (whether Welsh-speaking or not) - and dogs too if nobody minds
PPS With bluebells (clychau’r gog/bwtsias y gog) already in flower, including a bluebell wood on the walk could be a good option
I think now we’ve settled on Sun 12th May as the date for our next walk - I’ll be posting further details later, but if there’s somewhere in particular you’d like to go or have any questions, do let me know.
Hwyl, John
