	My mother used to say that a butterfly in the house was a sign that a stranger would visit. Was that a Welsh thinking ?

	Some butterflies can be seen really early provided it's a reasonably mild, sunny day. We had a very pale yellow one fluttering round the garden one sunny day last week so I did a bit of checking and I am fairly certain it was a female brimstone.

	That seems early for a butterfly.Was that inside or out? I remember one year, we had one flying around a bedroom on Christmas Eve.

	There has just been a butterfly hanging about the front window. I think it was a red admiral but it was moving all the time so I didn't get a really good look. I have already seen a couple of huge dumbledollies this year. Those are bumblebees to those who didn't know my nan.
