It's nearly seven in the evening and it's still daylight. I have just been in the garden and there was one rather tubby beebly-bum investigating the ummmm, woss it called - pyrrus? - it's an evergreen, white, drooping bracts of flowers, new flame-red shoots of leaves, anyway hovered and a snoop, then bumbled off. I like the first evening after the clocks go forward, it does cheer one. I guess the morning will be dark, tho, can't have everything! DD

    I do love to see the bumble bees bobbing about through into the evening, gives a glimmer of hope that the weather might be ok.. Lol

    Roll on sunshine....

    When I was about 4 a whole nest of them attacked me, had to be taken to hospital.... Remember it well :x
    Was my Brother's fault, him and his mates were burning a nest out in the distance, all the wasps flew out and made a bee-line (boom boom) for me, I was on the blooming doorstep :shock:
    I remember the pain, and my Mum ripping my clothes off trying to get them off of me, the stings were everywhere :eek:
    Buggers................. :roll:

    I love the light evenings too but they do take some getting used to at first.
    I have to clock watch after 3pm so that I don't forget tea :lol:
