08/06/2026 - Evening walk after work. A slow pace but it just about kept us ahead of the rain.
A few things we saw along the way.
The reddest sycamore helicopters I've ever seen.
Golden dung fly, I always feel a bit sorry for these a bit odd looking flies. Their middle name ain't great.
A tiny little white flower on an old holly tree.

07/06/2026 - A nice visit to the walled garden at Drum Castle in Aberdeenshire today. We sat, had a brew and our butties and watched bees. It was a lovely way to spend the day.
I think (I hope!) this is a forest cuckoo bumblebee π
06/06/2026 - A slow plod from the house today. I was tired and my legs didn't have much zip. The wild flowers by the roadsides were looking lovely.
