Once again October was dominated by the revision of the website, a task which we hope is approaching its end.  Only two new contributions were added to the Archive, bringing the totals to 9406 items of information from 3414 contributors.

Visits were paid to Berlin for the Schöneberg Pumpkin Festival, and to Norwich for Edith Cavell Service of Remembrance.

A plant walk and an indoor session on pavement ‘weeds’ were well attended and apparently enjoyed.

17 posts were added to the website’s blog page.  Searches of the site remain low, totalling 144; but an increasing number of messages, most of them commercial and of little or no interest, were received.

The website post ‘Lungwort, Pulmonaria officinalis‘ was reproduced with permission in The Pulmonaria Group Newsletter, Autumn 2024, under the title ‘Pulmonarias in Folk-Law’.
