Butterfly and Bee

We have lived in this area for almost seven years now.
And for the first time today visited our nearest National Trust property.

It's been a busy day.
So we arrived at the property at 4.30.
In the afternoon.
(Don't ask. I turned up some curtains. This involved an actual needle and thread as opposed to wonderweb.
For the uninitiated, wonderweb is a ribbon of 'glue' which only becomes sticky when it's ironed in between damp fabrics.
I have, previously, been a big fan of wonderweb. But, I must admit that it does leave the hem of a curtain a little bit 'unfluid'. (Stiff).
I am not one of nature's seamstresses.
My back aches!)

The National Trust property gates closed at 5pm. (Oo - just in time then!)
But it was my lucky day.
Butterflies and bees flitted amongst wild flowers in a brief sun-dappled interlude.
And, having found this place, I shall certainly return for further blippage :-)

OK. I did turn up the curtains. It did take hours. But, if I had been able to find my National Trust Membership card we could have been there a good two hours earlier!
Mea culpa.
