I clearly remember taking this photograph. It was the day after my birthday and the sloping meadow above the greenhouse at Cliffe was aflutter with these little blue butterflies, edged in silver. It was quite heavenly. The memory keeps me warm on a dreary day such as today.

Lovely! I gather it has been dry down there today so hope you had a good walk. Horrible and grey here in Bucks, looking after the oldies again.

They are a treat when you do see them, I think that is why it was such a special day, just me and dozens of blue butterflies! :))
