Common blue

Actually, it's not common. I've only seen a couple so far this year - and this one was very skittish. It did eventually settle for a while on the ground - but it took me ages to get this shot.

Yesterday was wonderful at Bicester> It was super to see people and - for those who asked, I bought hand wash and shower gel in Molton Brown - but they hadn't got Templetree :-( and I bought a lovely new wash bag for my stuff for the gym in Cath Kidston. I also fell in love with a pair of shoes in Hobbs - killer wedges, luxurious black patent and suede - but the assistant couldn't find the left one !

This morning I managed to snap up a rehearsal ticket for "Turandot" (Nessun dorma etc) in Covent Garden for September..... and a Jehovah's Witness thanked me for giving him such a lovely smile ......
