New Beginnings

Whilst tidying my shed I nearly disturbed this mummy Ratchet feeding its young in a toolbox. Very few are reared in captivity like this. This young'un appears to be a male because of its curved grips and colourful handle.

In Extras: Geum 'Scarlet Tempest', the first bud has arrived with such promise throughout the season. One of my favourite plants. 

Happy Easter everyone. ;o)
