Busy

Out for a walk, we wandered through the Botanics then over to check things out at the allotment. A few strawbs scoffed, a load of lettuce given to a friend, the rasps given a good watering, then home. There were loads of bees about with lots of different bumbles on the same flower patch. This was one of the smaller bumbles in search of onion flavoured nectar.
I was getting worried that I hadn’t heard back from the Chinese travel agent about our National Park tickets so bit the bullet and ordered them again from another agent. I’ve paid in advance so am slightly more hopeful but still have to be among the first 41,000 orders for Jiayuguan! That’s their daily limit, fingers crossed.
