Meadow brown (?) on oregano flowers
The two big clumps of oregano in the garden are flowering and are covered in these brown-orange butterflies. According to my butterfly book I think they must be meadow browns.
There was a rain storm last night which has watered the garden - and the strong north wind has cooled down the atmosphere no end. I'm so glad we didn't get round to putting away all the winter clothes and bedding when we arrived - as they're back in use again now. Clearly procrastination is a virtue!
The temperature is much better for gardening and walking - so I did some of both. But a tad too chilly for swimming so I'm glad I fitted that in yesterday. Saffron is scared of the wind - every time there's a big gust she rushes inside and up onto the beams in the roof via chest of drawers then top of wardrobe.
Our neighbours gave us some freshly baked home-made sour dough bread (one of their acquired lockdown skills) which was superb.
