I've waited all summer for butterflies to appear in my sunny garden, but even the prolific white blossom on the Buddleia didn't attract them this year.  However, suddenly they have arrived. The blossom has died, very few flowers remain, but the butterflies are here, fluttering and swooping close to the windows and even settling on the warm bricks of the wall by the door.

Other visitors to the garden are the sparrows!

Regular 2 o'clock meetings - perhaps it's Sparrows' Institute,
similar to Women's Institute.
