The very opposite of today's challenge!

A mainly sunny day but some cloudy weather too.  My friend did my shopping today, another friend and I had coffee and then at lunchtime S and I went to one of my favourite places locally, RHS Hyde Hall.  Our slot was between 1-2pm, we took a picnic and then spent a pleasant 2 hours wandering round the garden.

I loved the blip of this lady strolling down the pathway, so although it should have been a mono "hectic" blip, this is a colourful no rush one! Thought this time I would show you more views rather than flowers. Pleased to see some damselflies and liked the flower the bee was on.

If anyone knows what the beetle is please let me know (first extra)
