Wed.
Apr. 3 I was awake quite early and
up before six. Looked after the
breakfast, changed some drains
and at about 10.30 I took two
small Durans with me and
climbed up the ridge back of
the next house and dropped
down into the same valley
where I went Monday but I
went down the stream instead.
I found quite a few ferns
to collect, some of them new
and others familiar. Climbed
straight up out of the gully
and came to the edge of a
rice field where I sat down
and ate my lunch, then
climbed up on to the ridge
again and followed it out
to the end, on the top I collected
my first bamboos. Reached
home in time for a late lunch,
then came putting plants in
press, changing drains, supper,
a smoke and then
the writing of my journal
and then to bed
