    Evening all image

     I've no desire to see Verd's peaches, plums or any other items.....image

    Well done WW. Disgraceful how these things escalate and cause such trouble and stress to innocent parties.

    I've had a few flutterbies but not on a regular basis. Some Painted Ladies on my walk a couple of weeks ago. You're right Bushman - loads of daisies everywhere. The banks of motorways and roadside verges  are covered. Took some pix of a huge area of wild orchids a few weeks ago in Glen Lochay but that was the day I lost my camera image

    Good to see you again Steve. Don't forget your armbands....image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    evening all. 

    Another day at the coal face over. 

    wonky, well done you for both, keeping your cool ,and the vindication.

    A nice Old Speckled Hen for me whilst OH makes his first ever batch of tomato and chilli chutney. 

    Will let you know what it's like in due course.

    I really , really , really meant to go and finish potting on the eryngiums Lyn gave me, but I ended up having a wee siesta when I got in from work, Now it's too late.

    Nice surprise: I contacted the company who supplied our polytunnels and asked if they'd give me a price on the 2 paris of the new type of door runners we have on tunnel 2 , as those on tunnel 1 are always " dropping" 

    This morning a parcel arrived with a pair free of charge.

    Happy bunny. ( just have to persuade OH to help me swap them over )

    Lovely evening here, hope it's nice with you all. 

    Devon.

    That's great Hosta image

    It's a lovely evening here too - sunny and warm - and a blackbird is singing from his perch on the trellis - he's been back and forth to the terrace all afternoon collecting beaks full of mealworms - he must have a late brood of nestlingsimage

    RB - your moth is a Gatekeeper butterfly http://butterfly-conservation.org/679-1038/gatekeeper.html 

    Not sure about your beetley-bug - I'll consult OH's books ...

    I hope your family's dog can be treated Lily. I think my daughter will change her vet after this. They certainly do know how to charge. The breeder's insurance had just run out a couple of days ago and she hadn't got round to taking another out. It's going to cost about £1,500 and I've told her I'll help with the cost but all be are concerned about is the pup.

    Hi Runny I think the first photo is a butterfly not a month. Not sure of the name. I'll try and look it up.

    Just looked it up Runny. I think it's a gatekeeper.
