Now you see me, now you don't..

This little shield bug was having a good look out from the top of a 6 inch high pepper pot! I wonder how far they can see. It had taken quite some time running round the rim before climbing to the top. Having spied the grass it set off down again where it appeared and disappeared as it crossed the table cloth!! Hope it made it back to the plants eventually.

What a lovely sunday it has been. Some friends popped by for a coffee this morning then we had a late lunch outside in glorious sunshine with a rather exhausted, partied out youngest daughter. My sister in law and husband joined us for pudding and coffee on their way north. The rest of the day was spent in the garden reading, doing crosswords, sewing and generally enjoying family time together.. just lovely to have both girls home for the afternoon. After a drive out in the open top car for the first time all together (some good movies made in the back seat!) and a lot of laughter we ended the day together playing cards in the garden till the sun went down.

Happy day..
