Audley End and the AA

I decided yesterday I'd go to Saffron Walden and Audley End this morning.

I got up and drove to Birchanger services fo4 breakfast came out put the key in the car and...,nothing. So I filled in the link for the AA. At 9:09 I got a tracking link telling me they'd arrive at 10:05 when I checked again it was 10:10....at  9:33 I got a call asking where I was as he was just arriving. It seems I got lucky as his previous job was there. 

The diagnostics said my battery had 94% charge but 1% health! He could get me enough juice to get me back but did I want a quote. When he checked he had one on the van. I knew it would be more expensive but not worth the hassle so said go ahead. At 9:54 it was fitted and paid and I was on my way. Excellent service!

I ditched Saffron and went straight to Audley.

Painted lady. Lots around this year.

This chap was not happy when I got near it's goslings.

Nesting bees.

Yet another Jersey Tiger Moth

There was a hummingbird hawk moth by ere but it flew off before I could get a photo.

So after a rubbish start a good day. Everywhere was rather dry.
