Rare swallowtail on catmint flower

Saffron has shown complete indifference to this catmint, but at least it attracts the odd butterfly.
Had a pleasant swim and snorkel with a friend in Porto Boufalo, which was beautifully quiet for a hot weekend..
Another friend with a house in our village has just returned for a holiday after a year in a new job in Cuba. She came round for dinner and entertained us with stories of her new life.
