Went to mow

Decided to ignore the dark clouds, and take a stab at mowing the grass. Luckily the rain held off.

When I almost walked into this overhanging shrub, the intricacy of the flowers was striking; from a distance they seem to be the same purple colour all over.

Loads of butterflies in the garden, especially red admirals and small tortoiseshells.

Enjoyable chat with Andy after his shift.
