Are they the baddies?

The black beetle of the family?

Lots of LBs about this morning, lots of boring red seven spots, some freaky yellow and black ones and this.

Is this the one that will carry off your dog or something? Tess didn't look bothered.

Anyway a lovely bright sunny day for dog-walking and gardening.

The allottment is knee high in grass.

The strimmer is broken. New last year and now the bolts holding the exhaust box on have both sheared off!! And NO I can't find my receipt!!
