Making the most of February sunshine

I washed some jumpers today and hung them to dry outside. While they were in the machine I cut away my neighbour's clematis that was covering my wisteria and pruned the autumn raspberries.

I then did the "Limehouse Loop", the longest bike journey I do on my own, about 14 miles. As I was leaving late morning there were more walkers/joggers/cyclists than if I had left earlier but, considering what a wonderful day it was, I would have expected more people. Every now and then a bush or tree covered with small white flowers.

Back home, after a quick lunch, I was out in the garden again with the stepladder cutting back as much of the clematis climbing over my shed as I could reach. I also did a bit of weeding.

I saw a bumble bee.

This warm February weather is not unusual. In my perpetual diary I noted two days before this time last year that it was so warm I went to the post office without wearing a coat.
