Caterpillar
Probably a Buff Tip Moth caterpillar ready to pupate. Time to put it back on the Buddleia.
EDIT Mullein Moth. Thanks for the heads up Alison. More Buddleia to be eaten then.... END EDIT

Bees
My wife suggested we stop cutting the lawn for a few weeks to give the bees some flowers. Worked well!

Foxgloves between St Olaves and Fritton
Just noticed them as I was driving by in the rain a week or so ago
In lovely condition
With an occasional Yellow Flag amongst them
But mostly lots of Foxgloves

Christmas Tree looking unwell
One of the Christmas trees I planted out in the garden is looking a bit poorly and has produced these three pine cones at the top of the lead stem. Not sure it is for the long haul!
Edit: Tree did fine!

Around the garden
A day of pottering round the garden. The three hot days in February got everything started and all are growing nicely now.
Here's the central flower enlarged
We lost the mistletoe ladened apple tree last summer in the drought so we've planted about 18 new trees and I've put mistletoe berries on the apple trees. At least three have taken:
And this set of leaves is growing around about the place where the Bee Orchid flowered last year so looking hopeful
And the ornamental cherry tree is going crazy

Foxburrow Wood
A wander round North Lowestoft while the car had its rear discs and pads replaced. Foxburrow Wood, a sliver of ancient woodland between the A12 and housing estates
This set of trunks were from the stump of a previously fallen/felled single tree.
A nice caterpillar on a footpath approaching the wood, under an oak
Still some very old trees left

A sunny day at Ellingham Mill
A day of pottering at Ellingham Mill yesterday. Water flow is so low that none is going over the sluices so the launch point is completely current free and fine for children to mess about from...

A walk around the garden
First real day of Spring. Cloudless sky, gentle breeze, probably over 22degC. There are a few Violets
Acres of Forget me nots
Lots of Ransoms or Wild Garlic
Cowslips
Lesser Celandines
Primroses
And more Forget Me Nots
