Elizabeth came for lunch which consisted of cold meats and salads. After this she and I photographed bugs on the diamond jubilee tulips. The first is mine with my Canon EOS 5D;

Derrick’s site is next to yours, which is next to mine, on my Opera Desktop thingy, which is what I use to access just about everything. I trust it more than Google /Chrome and it’s not intrusive and doesn’t shove ad’s in my face, ever!

Derrick is an amazing blogger, and a very intelligent man to boot. He was the sadist who compiled the cryptic crosswords for the London Times newspaper for some 20 years and has the most marvellous gift with and for words.
His site is well worth following, one learns a new word just about every post; he doesn’t bung on any side it’s just that he knows the language and gets the most out of it, which benefits all his many followers.
