Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Less, your sunset looked like it was on fire
And well spotted (groaning pun intended) on the ladybird/hopper thing!!

Dusty, those marigolds are amazing.
I forgot to say, I did laugh at your skinny emojis the other day    

October accommodation now booked - phew...

Weather still changeable.

Is that a ladybird on your bramble leaf Dusty?

I think it's a hopper, or similar. I doubt if I go back this afternoon it will still be there!  Didn't notice it at the time of photo because it was dusk, and I was hurrying.

Thought it looked a bit like one of the little brown ones I vaguely remembered seeing on an ID website - but you're prob right (having had a quick look at some pics), and especially if seen at dusk, think they're hiding away by then... 

Coincidentally I spotted two (well, probably the same one twice) 7-Spots while beginning the "summer" pruning of my apple trees (Farway has been making me increasingly guilty for not having started, though it was October last year ... As it's been the best years for apples for yonks here, maybe it didn't matter... Best year for yonks for Ladybirds too, we rarely see them here...
