A splash of red

The day has been spent more or less in the garden, relaxing.

Relaxing is a comfortably accommodating word which extends coverage  to minor ladder based tree surgery, garden centre chauffeuring and water porterage as demand, um, demands.

Still, the back pain is beginning to subside.

In the meantime, everything else in the garden is busy. One could argue this throws into sharp relief how I'm sat on my arse not being useful, but Janet's far too lovely to say that.

Still, I do wonder where this little bee has been, to collect such thick red pollen. It's a bit late for blackthorn blossom...?
