After 50mm of overnight rain the rest of the day turned out hot.
What a day. Was in the right place at the right time to see Southern Hawker Dragonflies emerge from their larva.
I was spellbound for most of the afternoon. The spent larva are now with Marianne to show her class at the next nature lesson.
Celie arrived home at 5pm and came straight over, bless. It was a magical moment, this young lady at just 15 years old competing internationally for the first time has come back with 3 golds and winners trophy. Marianne and Julian have one special daughter.
