Bees Love Lavender.....

.....but His Lordship does not.
The border of lavender is under threat from the resident patio terrorist, His Lordship no less, who allowed me when we moved to choose the plants for the patio but has been their chief critic ever since.
For the purpose of marital unity, I have agreed to allow him to remove it once the bees have had their fill of pollen for the year. Accommodating is an adjective which I am happy to embrace in this instance.

I have had a Sunday more sociable than usual while HL allowed himself a day of rest and contemplation.
A coffee session with Daughter#1 and Magpie was followed this afternoon by a short visit from David and Luca bearing a still warm banana cake, declared delicious when combined with a spritzer.
It meant the social side of the day made up for the rather gloomy weather outside, even if it was still quite warm.
