Study in Purple

At last a spring day, dried laundry outdoors for the first time this year and started to do some tidying in the garden.
I got distracted when I spotted a ladybird in the dead stems of last year's Michaelmas Daisies, then another and another and a pair making more ladybirds! It goes to show that you can't rush spring cleaning in the garden, so I made a cup of tea and took pictures of crocuses instead.
