Bee on ivy

It’s not an ivy bee, which look more like wasps. No idea what sort of bee this is. Honey bee or one of the many solitary bees? I say solitary, the ivy was buzzing like demented faulty transformer was we passed by a great bank of ivy flowers.

A very pleasant day when not much happened. Started cloudy with some drizzle in the air, ended warm and sunny. More of the same tomorrow I think.

We walked into town simply to have a coffee, had a chat to a few people we knew on the way in. Then walked home again. Tesco’s fuel station was closed. We did think of going to the coast, decided not to so as to conserve fuel. What madness.

Susan worked in her studio this afternoon while I did very little, apart from picking raspberries at the allotment and making tonight’s dinner.
