Verdant pastures

The flower cycle is in full swing

But the grasses are very dense, maybe due to the long cool wet spell

Sanfroin breaks the yellow monopoly

Scabious on the increase

A ragged ragged robin

Nottingham catchflies about to bloom in force

Two groups of bellflowers

Burnet of course

And shouldn't overlook the little hop clover

My favourite grass - quaking grass - getting a foothold

The alpine garden is thriving

I have put a house up for solitary bees to nest - and the first have arrived

A couple of deer went past the back of the house yesterday
