A Swallowtail on brambles yesterday. These magnificent butterflies, which are only found in a few places in the Norfolk Broads, were regular visitors to our wildlife garden throughout the day.

What a great day we had at the Emma Bridgewater Factory in Stoke on Trent, so much beautiful china so a great excuse to buy some more for the Dairy Barns. Harriet and I had a factory tour, afternoon tea and pottery decorating experience then some shopping in the factory shop....all for the benefit of the business of course!
