The Red Damselfly…….
We used to see Damselflies by the pond – red and electric-blue. They liked to land on the leaves of the Flag Irises. Then, the pond got covered in duck-weed and we haven’t seen a Damselfly for years.
Tuesday evening, we were sitting on the bench at the front of the house and Mike spotted a red Damselfly in the edge of the meadow.
We moved to sit on the edge of the path, so we were right down by the Damselfly and could marvel at the colours – the red, banded body, the green sheen on the head, the big golden eyes and the beautiful diaphanous wings.
Mike took some pictures, and here they are….

‘……..a previously unknown chamber….’ !!!
We’ll Be Singin’, While We’re Diggin’...
Summertime
And the diggin’ is easy
Finds are jumpin’
And morale is high
There’s pierced antlers
And many quernstones
Diggers are happy
No need to cry!
