Before the Rain

I had a dental check up this morning followed by a hairdressing appointment for Gill and a wander around the big Sainsbury in Leamington.

So we were ready for some fresh air after lunch and took a look at Hidcote.
Plenty of colour still emerging in the gardens, we were in the coffee shop as the rain arrived.  Very heavy rain on the journey home, but the ground here is dry - guess the showers are very localised.

A Red Admiral for the main and another wild border blip in the extra.
Probably annual mallow?  Edit: Tagged the extra for Wildflower Week
