Mr White

So called because he has a white chest and white paws. Otherwise bright ginger, like Mr Pink and Mr Fluff. I've never really noticed this rather striking pattern on Mr W's forehead before.

Having done yet another fine-toothcomb scour of our small patch of garden looking for last signs of the evil, relentless bindweed and satisfied myself that yes, it really has all gone I sat down in the sun with the papers and Mr W. The others, and their mum, all lolling around elsewhere.

The number of ladybirds around was incredible.
