I'm feeling vindicated as my garden of chaos is also full of weeds wildflowers

Had a lovely walk next to a beach this afternoon and was surprised to see this Scabious growing wild...



I was even more surprised to come across this Sand martin housing estate. It was just incredible to watch the birds flitting in and out of their nests with food, there must have been about 100 flying around at top speed...



And the more I look at this pic, the more the nest holes look like faces to me, or some weird archaeological site...

Sand martins, pink_poppy. And that scabious is lovely.

I was just about to edit, RAS, you beat me to it 😊 I suppose the clue was in the name, no houses for miles 🙄 In my defence it was my DH that said they were House martins, I wasn’t sure, but had never come across Sand martins before.
The Scabious was lovely, much better than the one I have in a pot here.

Totally agree it reminds me of a visit to Cappadocia, nature is amazing great photos

It's like a natural Mount Rushmore ... or maybe ... not natural

I think four of the original Rolling Stones can be seen on the right. Naturally, Bill Wyman is squashed behind the others, so he's barely visible, but that's better than visibly bare. Brian Jones is the one missing, of course.

Believe me, anything is better than putting up with the BBC these days!

I read on FB there was thunderstorm went through here overnight night, like a Typhoon. I slept through it and the garden, apart from looking a bit wet but still upright.

I've not checked but any potential runner beans left by the snails have probably been wrenched off with the storm

I'll have to prowl round later to check for damage but all looks OK from the upstairs windows
