Another vote for Richard. His price was competitive, arrived on time, completed on time and did an excellent job painting living room and hall, chipped away loose plaster and replastered cracks in wall, sanded back damp patches instead of painting over them and put heavy pieces of furniture back. He was very pleasant and easy to get along with too.

Now you mention it, and after looking at a photo, you could be right. May be a false alarm. But they do appear to have Kidney vetch growing round the corner?

They are called "Small Blue". I went into the British wildlife place and they have Kidney Vetch planted in there, the butterfly's only food source.

Just seen a "small Blue" butterfly on the corner of Ondine Road/Adys Road. Supposidly rare and localised.
