gatekeeper returns

a little butterfly is getting rather keen on being snapped for blip! And with the other butterflies visiting not being so willing to pose, I'm happy to keep snapping!

A scorcher of a day here in essex - 26 degrees - sorry to those with the rain, but I think we're getting that tomorrow! And a rather interesting day for the plumber we called in to help out with our dishwasher issues - he was hoping it would be a quick, easy job.... wrong! Thankfully it all got sorted eventually and with a few laughs although he has now threatened to block our number so we can't call him with any future work!! So now to wait for the dishwasher fitters to revisit another day! Back to washing up by hand for a while longer!
