Bee and Lavender

There have been sunny intervals today, though quite windy and with the cloud cover gradually winning.

I worked on paperwork this morning and got out in the garden for more clearing and pruning this afternoon. Even with the stepladder and the long handled shears I can't reach the top of the holly which has grown so much in the past few months, so I'm looking for a pruning expert, (preferably tall with long arms  ;-)
