Flutterby

I had a visitor today while I was working. This little butterfly flew in and landed on the carpet next to me. After I took the photo, it flew up and landed on my trousers. So I walked out into the garden so it could fly off. And managed to keep Dodo (aka butterfly killer) away.

As a kid, we used to call them flutterbys. I guess it’s an apt name for them. As they literally flutter by. Can’t say I get the connection to butter. Anyone know?!

Distractions

Today I have had a few distractions. It’s butterfly saving season…!

I rescued 5 from Dodo and 3 from the conservatory.

It was all too much for Hugo. He spent most of the day asleep in the food box. Once again he was snoring his head off. Slightly distracting on calls. It’s so cute, I can’t help smiling.
