Ah, the end of Summer...

(or at least the end of the summer holidays) is in sight.

It seems that for the last 6 weeks every child within a 3 mile radius has been camped outside my front gate armed with fishing nets. Apparently they're trying to catch the butterflies that land on my buddleia (sp!).

The temptation to run the hosepipe through the house and blast them from an upstairs window has been almost overwhelming...
