    Weekend before last we went to see the Butterflies in the Glasshouse at RHS Wisley. Took about an hour queuing up to get into the glasshouse though! No pushchairs allowed so had to carry the little ones. Still it was worth it:

    Saw this strange rock:

    It's actually a plant called Bigfoot:

    Sorry not many butterfly photos, there were plenty of them I just had a job getting a decent photo of them:

    If you are tempted to go, chose a weekday (fewer kids/people) and a bit of sun if you want to see the butterflies flying [​IMG]
