All this meadow and track by the fields has been killed with weedkiller! And not just these in the photo, but practically all the set-aside by all of the fields around. It saddens and angers me.
In contrast, our garden, which never sees weedkiller or chemical harmful to wildlife, is full of bees, caterpillars and insects. The caterplillar is of the Mullein Moth, and the thing on the leaf is a ladybird larva, just getting ready to change.

The rose top right is called James Austin. Austin (David) is the name of the company/family that grow the roses - famous in England. It’s a beauty with a wonderful scent. The lighter pink one is also an Austin rose - Boscobel. Another with a lovely ”rose-y” perfume. The others were planted before we moved here, so I don’t know their names.
I told her I’d try again and went onto Pinterest to find a recipe. It turns out it’s quite easy once you find the right recipe!
