Close up of our Buddleia.

The Feast Day of Saint Eusebius.
We bought this buddleia from the garden centre last Summer and it has been up potted in July. It attracts many bees, but so far there have been no sightings of the small tortoiseshell butterflies that I had hoped would visit.
It is pouring with rain here which is welcome and refreshing, but weirdly humid at the same time. 19c outdoors. 20.5c indoors.
The Jeremy Vine Show has been discussing the forthcoming hose pipe ban, starting in some southern England areas from this Friday. Gardens can be watered with a watering can. Paddling pools can be filled with a bucket. Hard times ahead. Using grey water on the garden is the best way to avoid wasting water.
Have a lovely Tuesday blip friends, take care and thanks for your kind comments and stars.
