As grandson and I walked along New Road
Just saw my first Marbled White butterfly
Early morning flowers
Small plums ripening, pied wagtail becoming too trusting for its own good and grandpa J makes grandson a delicious supper
Afternoon visitors
And a birthday cake for the oldest
A proper country walk
Along the road way a plant new to me
Dragonflies by a pond in a nearby field
In Kate’s field a local contractor was cutting the hay which he will bale later in the week. It’s been an amazing year for hay (and much else besides). Click below
Crashed out cats and a hot air balloon above
One feathered visitor and one human visitor
The other visitor had stayed with us a few weeks ago, helping to put up the wigwam canes and runner bean supports and had also earthed up the potatoes. He was amazed at the changes in the vegetable and flower gardens
Early morning heat
And early morning helpers
A few guests outdoors
Passion flowers in all their glory
