A few more Silver-washed Fritillary pics
One of our local woods has been fabulous this year for silver-washed fritillary. A couple of the rides that have burdock, brambles and a rogue buddleia have been a feeding haven for them. It's been brilliant !
Some staggering temperatures in the garden this year
44 degrees in the garden
51.3 in the greenhouse
49.7 in the greenhouse
and a chilly 40 in the garden. We have melted !

Silver-washed Fritillary
Absolutely stunning butterflies ! A couple of the rides in one of our local woodlands are alive with these beautiful butterflies this year. An hour there yesterday and we were blown away by them, never stopped coming past and now starting to do courtship displaying. A second visit is definitely on the cards, tomorrow, weather permitting !
Eddystone 34028 Steam Train
A new train for us that we saw at Park Farm Crossing, not too far from home. The Eddystone 34028, built in Brighton in 1946.
Ancient Wood Bluebells
A card from a camera that gets used once in a blue moon gave us a few snaps that had escaped us. Here are a few from our local woods when the bluebells were at their best. Been in the camera quite a while !
A purple carpet !
The wild garlic smelled gorgeous
and a covering of wood anemones
