Been quite busy today but did have a friend round at lunchtime who suggested the Magic Garden was looking rewilded. I’m still not sure what to make of that as comments go! Still, I did have a happy few moments watching the birds on the feeders.

My blue & long-tailed tits muck along together & have been doing so as long as I have watched

My second sunflower is coming out now - not the most impressive display but better than I’ve achieved with sunflowers before. There are still a lot of bumble bees around and they are enjoying my globe artichokes as they too are now coming more into bloom. It was good to have the washing out on the lines drying.
