Four walks and one plant survey were held, and a talk was given at a meeting of the London Fortean Society. Part of the Society for Folk Life Studies enjoyable annual meeting in Biggar was attended.
As throughout the rest of the United Kingdom, the death of Queen Elizabeth II dominated things throughout much of the month, with visits being paid to Buckingham Palace, Green Park, and Windsor, to examine flowers left in her memory.
