A cool morning started out with bluegrey mists and rapidly turned into a very Summery day.
Here are three out of 12 very sleepy bees, not frosted just covered in heavy dew, so sleepy I could stroke them.
This one has a collar of parasites, if you click on the picture it will zoom in.
Artichokes are flourishing.
Intense colours in a Livingstone daisy.
The last few lemons are slowly getting there.
Arum lilies waiting for a harsh frost to melt them.
It took half a day to get the old van back up and running its a long story involving not having much space to work in, transmission oil, a punctured tyre and various other obstacles so I won't explain but it is now back on wood gathering duties.
That is the mission, clear the trees, a few hours before this photo you couldnt see any trees just a jungle of brambles and bracken. Does it look hot - it was baking, I should have worn long sleeves I am a bit tingly this evening.
Gorse smells wonderful wherever it is.
Gazenias are settling in after being transplanted in late December.
I should get that wall painted while the weather holds up but the grey bare render really stores the heat unlike the white painted bits.
Marvelous picture of the misty view. It is a bit more than misty here.
