title Ladybirds on Wortham Ling, and a Rainy Diss, Norfolk - 17th March 2012 intro There's another ladybird infestation, as everything in the garden seems to be covered in them. Fleeing the colourful insects for a while, we head over to Wortham Ling, just outside Diss, for a stroll in the early spring sunshine. Then, after the weekly commute to London, we're in Diss, where it's raining. imgp1641 Aphids crawl all over their nemesis in oblivion imgp1644 A whole swarm of ladybirds on a dead pine tree imgp1652 A pair of bright spotty "Bishy Barnabees" imgp1658 Fred helps with potting stuff imgp1662 Fred gets ready for a trip with the roof down imgp1665 The car on Wortham Ling imgp1667 Ladybirds on the gorse imgp1668 Bare spring trees imgp1669 Bare tree surrounded by last year's leaves imgp1671 Fred's got a stick imgp1672 Fred runs about as Isobel catches up imgp1675 Fred's got two sticks imgp1678 A rotted tree stump imgp1680 Fred roams around in the woods imgp1684 Back on the Ling imgp1688 Spindly Silver Birches imgp1693 Isobel and Fred sit down on the grass imgp1695 Fred climbs into the car imgp1700 The Olympics building continues in Stratford imgp1701 The Olympic athletics stadium imgp1702 More trackside graffiti imgp1705 Bethnal Green imgp1706 Trackside graffiti, near Liverpool Street imgp1707 Painted warehouses imgp1708 Bake is the active tagger du jour imgp1709 More Bake graffiti imgp1710 A brand-new shiny silver graffiti tag imgp1712 A soggy Mere's Mouth imgp1713 Isobel, with bump, and Fred by the Mere imgp1716 Grandad and Fred in Norfolk Yard, Diss imgp1717 Norfolk House Yard, and Frederick's imgp1718 Another sad end: the Camera Company closes down
