Late February 2018 saw blasting easterlies and actual proper people-skiing-in-the-streets levels of snow.
Like this, remember?

Late February 2019 has hit 20° in Wales and 18° here...
As is traditional when the weather suddenly remembers the whole 'Summer' thing, my flat has come alive with the patter of tiny feets. Yesterday I went around my windows, ceilings, and lights, and counted 39 Ladybirds and 2 Conifer Seed Bugs. These just being the ones in sight - who knows how many more were lurking in the hidden bits?
Inevitably, a few photos have been taken.

My head has annoyingly got in the way of having half as much fun as I wanted to, but I did manage to get out on Saturday, and so a post with pictures of things outside the Patch will be coming. Also, lots of flowers and assorted prettiness from inside the Patch.
Be Seeing You...
