Had crappy day at work, and it's a bit wet and windy but I stepped outside to say hello to the babies.
The honeysuckle is just coming into flower and is going to be lush again this year.
The purple stuff on the walls that comes back reliably every year is lush too, and the bees love it.
The sweet william survived the winter and is enjoying the damp weather:
The valerian is everywhere, but again the bees like it and it's a gorgeous colour.
I realised I don't have a name for my gnome?
He was 'rescued' (a couple of years ago now) from the garden of a deceased customer, because I knew that the council would sweep in and put everything in a skip, which they duly did the following week. He was very worn and faded and I finally got around to repainting him.
(Do not google 'good name for a gnome', that is one weird rabbit hole.)
I've decided on Benedict.
Stay safe. Be kind. Adopt a gnome.
A very happy gnome is Benedict.
