14.00-14.45. Hardly ever see PHs, let alone ones sitting quietly, asking to be photographed - their habits don't seem to fit with my style of butterflying, always on the move (me, not them!). So I had to stop and enjoy them, and take a picture or two, but it meant I missed my bus, then my train, and I ended up missing the football match. C'est la vie.
