Let there be decent weather

It’s Spring!

I chased a bee all round the garden today trying to take a photograph of him and I failed. He was a lovely big fat one as well, with a really loud buzz. So instead I’ll have to just show you a ladybird on my lavender:

Just hanging out casually

I had to give that lavender a bit of a haircut. I do hope it fights back. It’s wonderful for attracting insects, in fact I might even go wild and plant some more.

I had to hold it up. This always seems to me to be a design fault with flowers

A posh frilly daffodil. These weren’t frilly last year so perhaps they’ve genetically mutated and someone will have to come and study them, that is fine, email address is in the sidebar, just let me know in advance and I’ll make a cake, how does chocolate sound? Or I could do lemon and rosemary.

Breadmaker bread! Oatcakes and brie! It actually was quite tasty. I buy that brie as it is so delicious even though the cheese shop man scares me

And lunch in the garden (handmade oatcakes! Handmade by me!). I hope you have all had nice weather too, and moreover I hope it lasts right until the end of October in a wonderful hardly-broken stream of hot days and flowers, because what I would really like this year is a nice long hot summer. I promise I won’t be moaning by May about how hot it is. I’ll have the sunburn and the insect bites and sleeping without covers and everything, I’ll take it on the chin. Are you listening, Goddess? Let’s have some nice weather this year. So mote it be, etc etc. There, now you know I’m serious.
