Female Ringlet butterfly

Aphantopus hyperantus loves blackberry brambles as is obvious by the above.

Gardening as usual (hacking away at the jungle!). Old D called in from the village asking whether we were having trouble in the corn from pigeons which we were not at the present time but nevertheless he went and had a look.

Steak, tomato, aubergine, green beans, and new potatoes for lunch followed by raspberries. T and K had gone done to Weymouth with some friends to the Seafood Festival. N is expecting some fresh crab on their return!
