getting nowhere with you

[pensnest]

I have often referred to the Middle of Nowhere, Norfolk. There's a lot of it, hereabouts.

I now know exactly where that is. I drove along Nowhere Lane today. There is a property there called The Middle of Nowhere. https://www.staythemiddleofnowhere.co.uk/about You can stay there, if you like.

I went to Nowhere Lane in order to visit the Bug Parc, and to meet up with nopseud and her family. We had a very agreeable visit, chat interspersed with bugs large and small. The big, leaf-sized katydids were particularly impressive, there were giant (gigantic!) snails, a butterfly house that felt like walking into soup, which probably explains why one of the butterflies spent quite a while trying to drink from me, there were millipedes, beetles, all sorts. Cockroaches do look quite a lot like Priuses. And there were two wonderfully twined ropes with ants marching along them in both directions—carrying large pieces of leaf to the giant pot, and coming back to the plants for more leaf pieces.

Very enjoyable evening at chorus, practising Christmas songs while our regular MD is away.

That sounds like a very interesting place to visit. Especially the ants.

It's several decades since I last revisited Norfolk... Fond memories of university there.

That looks like a very nice place to stay even if it IS in the Middle of Nowhere :-)

The only insects I can sort of accept are bees and butterflies so your visit to Bug Parc sounds scary to me.

Christmas in May? ;-D
