Bedraggled Bee

Well, after almost twenty fours hours of almost continuous rain, it has finally stopped....thank goodness. I noticed this half drowned bee, hanging on for dear life to the echinacea, or cone flower, I hope it survives. A cuppa and catch up with G this afternoon, haven't seen her for five weeks, where does the time go! The result of yesterday online research has resulted in me booking a month in Madeira for Jan/Feb...I've never been there, so looking forward to it enormously . A week in Wales before that though, in September .....lucky me :))

Thank you very much for the lovely responses to yesterday's image, all very much appreciated :) *
