I've actually got a bumble bee flying round the patio looking for he's
alighted on the hanging baskets I've just made up for people (about 6)
but doesn't seem to be interested in any of those plants. i feel guilty
I can't supply him with anything better!

I hope he had his thermals on! It's way too cold here for bees.

I sw a huge one here on some Salvia involucrata which are still

Yesterday evening - a Pipistrelle. They are usually tucked up for the

We found what we think - not sure - is a dead one, on the church gate's
porch. I maintain it was hibernating. Raymond says it's joined the
choir invisible!
