The Peerless Primrose of the Bristol Channel - A DETECTIVE STORY: Narcissus x medioluteus ON LUNDY

摘要

I have lived in Somerset for forty years and my regular coastal walks have been punctuated by the tempting sight of Lundy Island peeping through the sea mist. Each time I saw it I made a promise to visit it. Thus it was that one sunny day at the end of April 2011 we finally took the two-hour boat trip to see the puffins. Sadly it was still too early for the birds but we had an excellent walk clockwise round the island. As we made the return leg down the more sheltered east side back to the ferry we passed through the long uninhabited hamlet of Quarry Cottages - little more than a few walls perched on the top of the four-hundred-foot-high cliffs.
