There were so many bees around the echinops in the garden that it was difficult to get a photo without one or two. I've chosen this image because it's different (for me) having a white background.

Otherwise a day of staying in waiting for a phone call. I found out this morning that my aunt's bank account is still active, so it was off to the solicitor to find out what was happening.  He was busy so I left details with the receptionist and waited for a phone call. Five and three quarter hours later he called. 

Things now seem to be moving. I'll try and calm down and hope that the prospective purchasers of my aunt's house don't pull out because of the long wait for probate applications to be processed at the moment.
