Back garden

I love this time of year and this year in particular the bees are having a field day in our garden. So many different ones; butterflies too. 

The day was spent assisting Son 1 with his adventure preparation, trying to encourage him to see the wisdom of travelling with slightly more than a passport, a pair of spare underpants and a toothbrush. He does take an exceedingly laid back attitude to life in general so it doesn't surprise me that his packing reflects this. 

I also had to try, as guarantor for her tenancy,  to reconcile Z's rental payments with the payments the agency think they are owed. I have a horrible feeling this is one which will run and run. I'm not hopeful they will release her deposit any time soon.
