Bee on sedum.

Reluctant to rise this morning but once out of bed I brightened up, made breakfast, fed the birds and settled to do the crosswords.  Then I went out and chopped down the last bit of shrub.   There was more of it than I expected but it is all lying in neat heaps waiting to go into the car. I thought there would be one load but it will definitely be two.  Suddenly there is an empty area, bigger than I expected.  I had plans for it but I think I'll take my time. My ideas may change as I like the  feeling of space.
Wrote a long overdue letter to a friend and tried to pay a bill online. This required being sent a one off code to my mobile which, surprise, surprise, didn't arrive.  I'm going to phone the firm tomorrow and see if they will be happy with a cheque.
Trotted up the garden looking at all that needs doing.  There's scarcely a flower in sight.  Plenty of weeds though.  Found the sedum had flowered at last and a few honeybees were at work so fetched the camera. They won't be around to photograph much longer.  Afterwards I went to the Pillars for milk and one or two oddments. Succumbed to their own malt cob with pumpkin seeds so came back to eat it with bramble jelly and a mug of tea. The chestnut trees along the road are beginning to colour and the leaves on my little coppiced rowan are turning too.  Autumn.
