Ladybird, ladybird etc., etc.,

Struggled to find anything worthwhile. There is lots of blossom out there but I wanted to do something different. Well this is. I am too tired to even crop it.

Had a very busy afternoon with friends, planning our May holiday walking the length of the Llangollen canal. Five nights and four days covering over eleven miles a day. My poor size 3 flat feet are going to find that a real challenge. Anyway it's all booked, so come rain or shine it's going to be one foot in front of the other.

I was woken about 7 a.m. by the blackbirds and a magpie which appears to have discovered their very badly hidden nest. If they raise a brood I will be very surprised.
