Buff-tailed Bumblebee ( Bombus terrestris )

In the morning I finished my part of the Studio/summerhouse "painting.  Clickychick is being left to do the delicate bits, they are way beyond my pay grade!

We had intended to make a trip to one of our suppliers for a few things needed for the Lodge but decided that could wait.  So instead we had an afternoon at "Melki" (Larch Cottage Nurseries Melkinthorpe.  They are always worth a visit, particularly when you are looking for a blip.  Well if all else fails there is a good supply of coffee and cakes.

Just as we were leaving CC spotted a little statue of an angel and cat, just when I thought we had managed to visit without buying something, I was wrong.
