The first warm day of 2021

One of the nicest treats of the year is the first day of spring that's warm enough to sit outside to read or sew with a cup of tea, and today was it! 
I live in a long Victorian terrace with a pedestrian right of way along the back. All winter the rear pathway between our houses and gardens is deserted but there's one day each year when suddenly all the kids and cats come out to play as they did today. It's a very welcome sight. 
The extra is a cheeky parasitic wasp, Stenichneumon culpator, which landed on the quilt from yesterday's blip. They're always early but mid-Feb does seem earlier than most years.
