In Swansea, the rain has ceased, momentarily? Pencilled cranesbill (Geranium versicolor), alien Canadian golden rod (Solidago canadensis), Red valerian (Centranthus ruber) and Pale toadflax (Linaria repens) were much in evidence. Sea holly (Eryngium maritimum) looked skeletal, Sea spurge (Euphorbia paralias) is rearing up again and Old man's beard (Clematis vitalba) is unfurlled. Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) are hip and Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) are on the wing. Not much insect life but an occassional Drone fly (Eristalis tenax) 'picked' at flowers whilst the oaks had galls. In Loughor, the Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) has conkered.
