Moth, Cistus and Another Simple Supper

1    A little moth was waiting on the doorstep when I returned this morning. I looked it up and it is an Oak Scalloped Moth, very delicate and beautiful. I love its furry little head.

2   The Cistus, Snow Fire is nearly over but there are still some very beautiful blooms. The purpley bits in the middle are remarkable.

3   A beautifully simple supper tonight of Welsh Rarebit with Onions and Ale – delicious but not very photogenic!
