A Welcome Sight

Since I cut down the holly the water lilly in the pond seems to have flourished. This is the first of 4 buds which are showing themselves..
I will have to be careful though because I spotted 3 shoots growing from the stump of the holly .......... a lovely red colour so I am tempted to do nothing about it just now.

I walked slip bang into a huge spiders web next to the rubbish bin. It took ages to remove it all from mt face and hair - but not before I tried to get to get a shot of the spider and its prey.It wasn't easy with it swinging in the breeze and the sun shining on the screen.

SWMBO and I dropped in to see the Cygnet and his family - just after they had returned from a very short walk to the shop where he got a comic that had a pair of goggles with it. They had nothing in the way of 'glass' in them - but they did come with a warning notice that they were not to be used as protective eyewear.
No shit Sherlock!

There was a short thunder storm complete with lightning before lunch but it has now cleared again and is a lovely afternoon.
