The Wanderers Return!

When we left Braye two and a half weeks ago all was neat and tidy after our concerted effort on the garden and potager.

Fast forward two and a half weeks and we now have a meadow!

At least most things have survived and we have had some pleasant surprises..
Our apricot "twig" is full of fruit...

The alpine bed is looking better than we'd dared to hope..

The iris are in splendid form, as is the Tamarisk..

And, thankfully, the Ragged Robin has reappeared.. (thank you, Mary)

Also putting in an appearance as "Meeter and Greeter" was this Musk Beetle, exploring the ins and outs of Colin's wellies!!

And for those who may wonder... the Hoopoe is hooping, the Cuckoo is cuckooing and there are owl pellets by the dozen, so all's well with the world!
