I went for a walk along the beach this afternoon and saw my first Cabbage White of the year.
Oh what joy
Just the one on its own. An advance scout I suppose
Good job my brassicas are netted, as it seemed to be heading for Lydd, where my allotment is

The last line in "Sam, Sam, pick up thy musket" is 'Right, let battle commence'.
