Remember, Remember

A sycamore sapling has appeared in the corner of the garden near Jazzy dog's grave. I've been noticing for weeks that there always seems to be wasps on or around it. I discovered the other day that there is a wasps' nest in a nearby tree stump. I can't see the fabric of the nest and won't be getting close to look. I've made that mistake in the past and got stung. I might cut the sycamore down as they're very vigorous and it will overshadow the field maple next to it.

The red admiral fluttered down onto the apple tree. Nice to see one on 5th November. I'm very pleased that Mishka isn't in the least frightened of all the fireworks that have been going off over the past week.
