The Palmeran violet, Viola palmensis
Today the whole family wound up at 2,400 m.
My husband works up there, at the Galileo telescope.
My son had a school trip, helping to plant out native flora, like the violet above. The island government’s been doing this for a while, and the results are really starting to show.
And I was tour guiding. I showed two groups round the Isaac Newton Telescope. It was quite a rush to get up there for a 10 a.m. start, but I managed. And I finished just in time for my son to ride down with me, instead of on the bus.
Since I’d been out all morning, I hadn’t had time to cook, so we grabbed a pizza for lunch instead.
