A weird thing happened on the morning I left for England. Not what I expected to see gliding across the window in front of my desk: an earthworm. How on earth did it get there…and, yes, the window is dirty enough for it to get a grip!

Admiral on Urtica kiovensis
Back from my two week stay in England for my dad’s funeral (he was 97 and still growing leeks from seed; I planted them posthumously!) and being with my mum. The growth in the garden has been phenomenal with a heat wave (over 30C), 24 hour light and plentiful rainfall. I have much work ahead of me tidying up overgrown paths!
Harvested nettles of the almost stingless Urtica kiovensis for dinner and found this red admiral caterpillar!
