A visit

This beetle flew onto me whilst I was outside, don't know its name but we have quite a few of them. I also saw another humming-bird hawkmoth on the Valerian but they are impossible to photograph.

T was doing last minute jobs on the farm and then a quick dash into town before he and K drive to Sussex to stay with friends.  They fly from Gatwick to Malta for a week tomorrow midday. It is all right for some!

Extra photo is of a rose in the garden.
