Who wants to see a robin having a bath? πŸ¦πŸ›€ πŸ˜†
I'm so pleased to see these snakes head fritillaries pop up in our bird bath bath (yep, that's a bird bath in a tin bath - swipe for a view of the whole thing, freshly cleaned and topped up πŸ›€)

Just admiring this lovely gift from our neighbours at @insidenineteen 😍 These #CalatheaOrbifolia leaves never fail to make me smile πŸ’š
This year's sowing season begins! I'm trying verbena, achillea, scabious, basil, poppies, aquilegia and more. What about you?
