British summertime

Yesterday I spotted the first Brimstone of the year bright in the spring sunshine and today, I think, a Red Admiral. I startled it and only caught the orange rimmed wings but the guide tells me this was the most likely. High pressure all week, temperature 18c in the sun yesterday afternoon and bumble bees the size of field mice bumping into each other in their hurry to get to the cherry blossom. And the Hellebores too, which are looking fab, six varieties now I think and all very happily naturalised in my garden. And me aching from walking now the seratonin has started to kick in again and the clocks go back on Saturday, yey!
