My conservatory is a graveyard for butterflies in the hot weather. But I managed to photograph this tiny blue visitor before sending him out the door...

Well we planted a tree to disguise a neighbouring ugly new wooden fence, and found ourselves with a big pile of clunch stones.
The sparks from the pick axe were quite something!

For Valentines 💝 the traditional mothering Sunday £1 fresh daffodils are absolutely fine. Smell lovely as they open, and usually locally grown.

More reading today. Lucie Rie from the exhibition at Kettle's Yard 2023. A Jewish refugee from Vienna, already known as an artist potter, she was able to send the basis of her studio to London in 1938. Made buttons to begin with, made a British Citizen in 1948 by Labour.

Today's reading, just arrived from the Oxfam online Bookshop. A reminder that South American politics may have migrated North with the Caudillo Trump. Cardoso starts with an attempted coup in 1938 Brazil.

Comparative bedtime reading on gardening. Because I caught Monty Don's mad dash through gardens in NI, Scotland and Northern England and it got me thinking. Television and photography and tourism changed the appeal. Do these 2 agree?
