Because the strimmer developed an electrical fault and has been returned for service, our land is more than usually overgrown, and has become a magnet for 'Painted Lady' butterflies. According to google, these migrate thousands of km from Africa across the Sahara - and stop off in our garden! There are hundreds! As you walk up to the top path they rise around you in a cloud. Fabulous. Spent rather too long in the sun trying to get a shot of one with its wings open to make a proper identification.
