Peonies in bloom

One of my favourite parts of our garden is this section.

In our garden pink peonies are in full bloom at this time of year.

“Oh, Mum, some ants already!”

“My goodness! The flowers attract them, really,” she said and went on: “It’s hot today, isn’t it? I’ll give you ice cream in a minute, Pinot.”

“Mmm, perfect! That attracts me, really,” I nodded with a big smile.
