First this year

Olney with my chums this morning starting with beverages and toasted teacakes.  Well fortification is needed in order to tackle the boutique shops, and I did splurge on a yellow windowsill vase for the lounge, which is now festooned with dried hydrangeas until I find something better.

This is the only Red Admiral I've seen this year.  It's rather cluttered but will do as a record shot.
