    I said we'd do them Obelixx - it was only a handful. Charged them a late order charge though. Customers often think we just have gazillions of rosettes all ready and waiting for them. It's not that simple. The first bloke will have to hope the Royal Mail delivers. I asked him if he was collecting them and he said no, he'd need to get a train  and was there a station nearby. Errr, no. We're in a semi rural location. How do these people manage to get out their house each day? image

    Butterfly sounds lovely. We had precious few here at all last year. Beautiful little blue one when I was up at  Loch Treig last summer  image

    Hope the potager turns out well.

    He's lovely FG.  Ours didn't have the white rim.  Must remember to take a camera so I can get IDs for wild flowers too.

    If they can't organise rosettes, how do they think they'll organise a council or a constituency?

    They couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery Obelixx. image

    I think that one I saw is just a common blue. Really sweet.

    My world was full of the former and in various guises for decades FG.  Doing my best to avoid them here.

    Haven't found our wee blue butterfly on the net yet.  Hope I see another, with a camera to take his pic.

    Lovely here - bit of sun, but a chilly wee breeze. Had a nice quick walk earlier and saw a pair of goldfinches and a pair of greenfinches in and  about the hedgerows. Sparrows were all very busy Lovely image

    Time for a a quick look round before I go to the mine.
    Have a good day everyone image
