Bit late for the foxgloves this year, but here I am back in my favourite corner of Wales - Pennal, between Aberdyfi and Machynlleth. Here’s how it looked yesterday, and June 2017!

It’s said that Fairies like to make their home
in Foxgloves.
Foxgloves were once called ‘folks’ glove’,
as the ‘good folk’ lived there.
The flowers follow the light, so it was thought
foxgloves swayed towards fairy folk passing by.
