Gatekeeper on the Knapweed
It didn't rain today!
In the garden there were plenty of Gatekeeper butterflies, bees and other insects busily feeding on flowers, especially the lavender and, as shown here, Knapweed. (I grow the Knapweed especially to attract butterflies.)
Stormin' Norman,the tortoise, enjoyed a roam about on the lawn, picking off the White Clover flowers.
In the afternoon, Martin and I went blackberry picking. I can not resist these free gifts! There were plenty of ripe blackberries, and we returned with 7lb of the juicy, but fast spoiling, fruit, which we had to process immediately. Some have been frozen, but the majority were boiled in water, and strained to make jelly tomorrow.
