By the time they hatch it will be the equivalent of a human baby being five or six weeks late!<br />Garden looks glorious, and I hear you're having rain!

As for bees in the garden, I know I joke about not growing flowers, but I am finding creative ways of encouraging bees without compromising my ethics!

Some of your plants are so advanced compared to ours over the other side of the country and we've had both the sun and the rain that should have made them thrive! The bumble bee is fantastic. What about trying Bumble Bee Conservation. I bet if you sent the photo someone would identify it for you. Looks utterly unique to me. Hope the weekend market is successful.

We keep having brief thunderstorms here in West London - the salad leaves in a pot are growing daily, but other things look a bit soggy.
