The Budleja bush is also known as the butterfly bush
Driving home along Mill Road I pulled the car over
To admire and photograph a Red Kite perched on a telegraph wire (or is it an electricity wire?)
Despite disappointment in the football
(And who can deny that Spain played with more flare and attack?), life goes on and the ducks always bring a smile to my face.
Nigel’s reaction to Spain’s goal
Just a couple of pots of sweet raspberry jam
Pushing on through
First off clean the duck house and put in clean straw
Then pick raspberries and redcurrants for more jam and chutney making
Pull up garlics and shallots and lay them out to dry before storing

Hoping for a full day gardening (with interludes for Wimbledon and Euro football)
Ditch the jelly bag
Walking through summer meadows
The meadows were dotted with wild flowers and flitting in and out were meadow brown butterflies.
The fortnightly U3A walks take us along field footpaths where we can see nature in all her beauty. Glorious
Early morning montage
Sharing the bench with Nigel snd a cucumber!
