Jolly Jellies

We spotted these on our outing today - Jelly Ear Fungi. They really are rubbery!! Another common name is Judas's Ear as they grow on elder which was the tree species that Judas hanged himself on after betraying Jesus Christ to his executioners. The legend is that the ‘ears’ which emerge from elder wood represent his tormented soul.

We walked around Tittesworth Reservoir (which was 100% full!) and then went into the cafe for our usual sausage butty.

Good to see a bit of sunshine today too.
