Tortoiseshell

The butterflies are back in the garden and we've watched lots of them darting around this evening.  One kept landing on the door curtain in the Palace and this one seemed to like the pebbles in the water feature, and the Buddleia is now in flower, so hopefully we'll see lots more.

Another hot day peaking at 31 degrees, and I'm lucky to be able to walk down to the beach in my lunch hour, long may it continue!
