Common

Corfe Mullen Common, a Common Blue (I think.)    I used a dry slot of weather this morning to walk Meg and was repaid with a little sunshine, suddenly very warm, which encouraged the butterflies into action while I was there.   I only spotted the one blue but there were lots of Meadow Browns in the long grass and Large Skippers too (extra pic.)

It rained heavily earlier and again just as we set off for Wales after lunch.   An uneventful drive after a slow start in traffic and rain.   Puppy Bella seemed unphased by the travelling and began her new life in Wales with a trip out in a papoose with Jamie using his bike attachment this evening.
