Astrantia

Our little bed of astrantia is looking very nice this year and it's the first full season in this bed.
Up and out early for us as the car was booked in for it's MOT first thing, I walked home then did quite a lot of watering then power washed the decking ready for a coat of preservative.
It was the time to walk back to get the car, all passed ok for another year.
This afternoon to hot to do much except sit in the shade.
Thought I would try to get a picture of an insect on the astrantia but even thought it was hot there were few around so it's just the flower with no insect 
Had our first new potatoes and carrots from the garden  for lunch today that's always  a treat 
Sunny and hot
