I know, it's addictive isn't it? At least they're continuing with further seasons and I'm looking forward to seeing how Jonathan Rhys Mayer's character enfolds.

the garden is a mass of butterflies...cant find the cocoons Emma so either they are coming to lay or they have evolved !!! I have never had so many and funny thing is the nasturtiums have faired so well this year so think the big Cat ..er pillars have eaten them all? ..this weather is depressing.... CB
I found lots up near the soffits. They're quite easy to miss, especially when close to opening up as the cocoons look almost transparent and you know it's time for the butterflies to emerge.
My nasturtiums did okay and we've not had blackfly this year. The sweet peas have been dismal!

I didn't know that either !! The garden is amass with white cabbage ones..... and hundreds of caterpillars still...are there other butterflies that land there ? I am loving it ..some have seeded in the shingle too and I never knew they could grow so big ...the bees are around them all the time , its wonderful. I also have some pink dandelion seeds growing...?!

really enjoyed looking for the cocoons also but nothing !? I wonder if other bugs have eaten them...im going on a hunt today as got some time !
will keep you posted ! CB

Hmmm....I think the Vikings you like to watch are a little different to the rest of us, G. Last time I called you I recall you were sat watching Spongebob, so you must love your cartoons, bless your little cotton socks.
