Snakes head fritillaries

Our garden seemed like a set for Dicken's Great Expectations this morning...it was surrounded by dampness and fog. I expected Magwitch to walk past at any moment...

In amongst the gloom, I spotted these snakes head fritillaries which were just crying out to be blipped!

There was no sign of Scotland as we drove down to The Solway to give Chloe a decent walk...no doubt we will soon be back to our fresh Westerly winds from the Atlantic. They will clear the air for certain!
