A week or so ago I posted in another place on a forum some pictures of flower buds in the garden still tightly closed. I called the post “Darling Buds of May” and was hoping for some warmth to get them to open up. Well we have been away for ten days and when we came back home the garden was in full bloom and the place was full of bees. This afternoon I spent half an hour with my head down amongst them, with so much pollen up for grabs they weren’t bothered by me at all.

And now!
