Orange Tip.

Walked up the garden first thing this morning for some fresh air and found an orange tip sitting on a rather withered campion flower. Thought it would be gone by the time I came back with my camera  but it was still there and didn't move while I got closer and closer.  Maybe it was still asleep.  I think it was a female. It was quite small and there was no sign of orange tips. A nice start to the day. Filled up a garden trug with weeds  and honesty and bits of ivy, had lunch and went into Glenrothes to  collect my second pair of glasses. I'll be with you in a second the girl said but it was a very long one and I was glad I'd brought my kindle.. Food shopped in M&S afterwards. Fruit, vegetables, biscuits and cake for the cooker workmen on Friday and a small white loaf. Can't think when I last bought white bread.  It was nostalgia for the days when I was a latchkey kid and came home to eat cheap toasted white bread until my mother came back from cleaning offices. Little did I know that I'd be eating baguettes in the future and my mother would be taking her first holiday on the continent.
