Small Tortoiseshell

Eventually got the last of the industrial 'Woodchip" paper that was lurking behind the two fitted wardrobes. Mrs A S  had made a start yesterday while I was at Hebden Bridge, today we saw it off and our commitment to the work is temporarily at an end, so some deck time was taken this afternoon!
Did some shrub removal in readiness for restoring the boarder along the short end of the deck and the West facing gable end. There are a few Butterflies about, very few considering how warm its been of late! Only seeing Large and Small Whites, Peacocks and Small Tortoiseshells!
Nearly caught up, hope yo have all had a good weekend.
