Painted Lady

The day started well ...... dry, very warm, not a breath of wind and a suggestion of sunshine ...... shame that it didn't last. It remained warm but by lunchtime we had some rain and then the heavy clouds rolled in.

Mild conditions this morning brought out one or two butterflies into the walled garden in Pollok Park.

My gardening boys came this afternoon so while they worked their magic on the lawn and shrubs I started to scrape the rusting paint from my railings and driveway gate ..... a long way to go before the painter can get started. I can turn my hand to many things but wielding a paint brush has never featured in my list of abilities.
