It was beautiful weather and Sue decided we would go to the Greyhound pub in Milton Malsor as we could eat lunch outside in the sunshine.

We had a light lunch - is burger and chips a light lunch? And had a good catch up on everything that's been going on in our separate lives.

On the way back from lunch we spotted these areas of wildflower strips. They were delightful so I asked Nick to stop so I could get a photo. It's the kind of thing I'd like to achieve somewhere in the garden possibly alongside the drive rather than the lawn area that is currently there. I do wonder how it would look all year round but these are delightful.

It is similar to the area that was planted in Rothersthorpe several years ago.
