Up Close And Personal...

... but no sign of a bee.

I had a crawl about in the front garden first thing.
The fist flowers are beginning to open on one of the wild orchids.
The other shots start here.

We headed down to the centre when the shops opened where we exchanged the rest of our pots and pans which have been 'damaged' by the dishwasher (you can't beat a company that puts a 20 year guarantee on stuff that gets used every day). The new design will not be affected in the same way I believe.
SWMBO also took back an electric toothbrush she bought on Friday (not to the kitchen equipment shop) which, when she tried to register it found that it was too old to register despite the box claiming it was manufactured a month ago. Bad, bad makers.....

I spent the afternoon in the garage chucking stuff out, reorganising and 'dusting'. still more to do of course - but I am getting there. I should really book a trip to the dump.
