At last, we had a taste of summer here over the weekend. Clear blue skies, seabreezes and temperatures up to almost 20°C.
Not only did Morgan and I manage to go for a swim in the sea on Saturday and Sunday, but we tidied up the garden a little and managed to put the moth trap out.
The catch was fairly good, especially considering the fact that we don’t use a whit sheet around the trap at the moment.
