Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home ...  by sarahhorsfall

Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home ...

... I'm trying to read my newspaper!

Today is the first day of my summer break from school - yay! It was such a joy turning my alarm clock off yesterday, knowing I won't be turning it back on until September :o)

The sun was shining today, so I took the newspaper to my local park, to read it in the sunshine. I kept being visited by ladybirds, who insisted on walking all over the paper while I was trying to read it! :o)
Great capture! I've never seen on with a black and white head! Enjoy your summer!

@amber_lacerta Cheers - I didn't know that! At one point I had 3 of them crawling over my hand and my newspaper, but this was the only one to stick around for a photo :o)

@karens68 Thanks :o)

@chewyteeth Yeah, let's talk about it - what would it involve - getting people on board, then sorting out a date? or vice versa?! LOL

@sarahhorsfall post a discussion I reckon, get Mancs on board, message those we know/follow and then just pick a date I think. I work in education as do a few others, makes sense to do it in the hols, but I have a second job. Wednesday or Sunday is my best days, sunday might be best. What would we visit in manc though?

@chewyteeth Okay! I've been 'bottling' it for a while - but I'm going to do it, and set the ball rolling with a post - will you tag the people you know in it? :o)
