The warm weather disappeared largely very quickly, replaced by unsettled weather and occasionally heavy rain that blocked my guttering and caused water to run down my kitchen and living room walls.
Plaster wrecked, good job I'm renting.
Back issues have eased, but sciatica remains an issue some mornings when I wake up. I get into some mad positions when I sleep.
So, what's out there?
White butterflies are still around, honey bees too and bufftailed and common carder bumblebees. All feeding of the last flowers in bloom - hawkbut, bristly oxe tongue, the occasional creeping thistle. Ivy mining bees have also been around feeding off guess what ivy flowers.
I'll show you what I've found.

Great selection of insects! I've seen ana amazing number of Red Admirals in the past week or so.
