A bit disappointed with the amenities   

Hope there's no poison ivy in the surrounding bushes!

What amenities.

Yes there is, you will need something naturel to use as toilet paper.

We have some stinging nettles which wouldn't be good , I believe that there is poison ivy in UK with purple berries or is it flowers and white berries, must look it up.

Don't use any leaves that look like this either, this is Gympie-Gympie, aka stinging tree. When touched, the tip of the silica hairs break off. This then turns the hair into a “self-injecting hypodermic needle. Initially the stinging is said like being attacked by wasps, then you get whitening and swelling at the site, and then if it’s really bad you get sweating. The pain excruciating and can last for several years.

Wow. That is a scary plant.
You sure don’t want that to touch your bottom.

Is that like a stinging nettle but much worse?

Is that like a stinging nettle but much worse?

Something like that, there are reports of individuals who have used it as toilet paper taking their own lives because of the pain......horrible stuff
