It's been a mainly grey day with frequent showers. Peter went to work today as they were almost begging people to work overtime so I ended up spending most of the day working in the garden. I had on my old gardening coat and just worked through the light showers. Today's job was to hand cut all the long grass in the wildflower meadows. Thankfully that's a once a year job which has now been done. I weeded the bank of winter flowering heathers too and made a start on cutting the grass on the steps.
The ground in that corner of the garden is wet subsoil so trying to have a lawn or flower beds there would be almost impossible. The long grass provides a different habitat and although I didn't spot the orchid this year blue butterflies and darters took full advantage of the long grass.
