Nice. Cowslips and a GVW.

My butterfly species count this year so far is 6, but not seen any whites yet.

Ah, I've had comma, brimstone and speckled wood, peacock, small torty, and orange tip. Saw what might have been an admiral, but the dog spooked it before I could get a clear view.

Sunset on trees, whilst I set up to wait for badgers to appear.
They didn't.
Again.

Weird deal - works out the same price as the rock salt I was buying previously - we don't get gritters or snow ploughs out this way. We use a lawn seed spreader to spread it - the fine stuff dpreads better

We get some council grit bins, but not many. We also intend to go into making our own bacon, ham etc. We use salt in a lot of preserving.

At sub 25p a kilo for a 10 sack deal, delivered, it makes sense to buy this sort, in bulk - much more flexible than rock salt.
