Because it won't last

I blipped apricot blossom only a few days ago, but now our tree is covered in blossom and it's just once a year, so this one is simply for the joy of the moment, for Kendall and because I managed to capture a bee as it flitted from flower to flower.

A sandwich lunch in the garden (well, not only sandwiches as our neighbours gave us delicious baked potatoes they'd cooked on their fire) while we burned the remains of last year's unwanted vegetation because from tomorrow and for the rest of the summer we'd have to ask permission from the mairie to have a fire. Now home to play with my new phone that arrived this morning - anyone know how to blip on a Blackberry? Not that I will want to often.

An Agde postscript: my blip yesterday and its calm atmosphere may have given an impression that Agde is a village. It is in fact quite a sizeable town, population (in winter) 24,000 and many more in summer, and it has a very long history. It was originally founded by the Greeks 2,500 years ago and its name comes from the Greek Agatha Tyche, the good spirit.
