Trying to rule nature is a fruitless task; however I took a day in the garden at Falcon Cottage this weekend in an attempt to do a little ‘taming’ before the colder weather sets in. Among the pruning, cutting and uprooting there was a little refurbishment. Painting and creosoting of the garden furniture was on the agenda. That was until I saw the garden bench had a vulnerable occupant in situ.
The Poplar Hawkmoth Caterpillar put paid to any further brushwork. Hopefully he’ll move on soon and work can continue.
