Spotted this solitary bee busy collecting pollen from the grapevine in the greenhouse. Never knew any bees used vines.

A lovely picture too.
She's in the right place - a tropical haven compared with outside. I've just been covering up plants again and reading about the days of the Ice Saints. I hadn't known these were 11th, 12th, 13th May...

What an interesting snippet
I found this too

St Pancras, perhaps best known in Britain as a railway terminus, is a member of a trio known as the Ice Saints. The others are St Servatius and St Mamertus. Their chilly collective name comes from the traditional belief that their days, 11, 12 and 13 May, bring cold weather and the last frost of the year.
