great pics mari, bet you had a great time, so many lovely things to, love the budda`s head and i like that wood furniture for garden, kids stuff wonderful and i like them fuchsia triffles lol

It was all surprisingly good, but the kids' stuff just amazed me!
I SO wanted that Buddha's head, it'd be perfect in my garden!

Great blog MP and nice pics too.

I tend to go nuts with the camera these days!
I found out where the uni's Botanical Gardens are today! Havent been yet tho!

Smashing photo`s Marie,the childrens displays are especially good and that standard fuschia is a beauty,pleased you had a good time..........

What a great day such imagination, the kids stuff as you said looked amasing and that boot.

Thanks LL! It was another fun day! David is even nuttier than I am! It got that I didnt know what to snap next! Solved by running out of batteries!! LOL!
Oops! Nearly missed you there D! Yes the boot was great!

i saw one like that in portugal but was about £50 mari, but are really good, to heavy to bring back anyhow even if it had been cheaper :o(

I think that was about the same! The Buddha was cheaper!

Love the kids garden. is the ?lavender meant to represent the nile, with the flowers around representing the fertile qualities of the nile. Absolutely brilliant. Wish i was there. Also wish someone would treat me to chocolate cosmos. Thank you for sharing your pictures. brilliant. :o)

Thanks Spindle! It was my first flower show, & I was really surprised at how much there was to see!
Did you notice the "mummy" inside the pyramid?

Brill blog Hatter, I liked the weired bloke and his dog..... :~))

Great blog Marie that guy was huge and his dog was a bit weird too.

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all ! Looking forward to the next installment ! :-))

A great record of a great day out Mad.
Sorry to hear that you have been unwell Sandra. I wish you a speedy recovery from whatever ails you.

Looks like a lovely day out - I just bought some choc cosmos, Im not sure about overwintering as they have a tuber I think a bit like a dahlia so to leave in or wrap up in the shed any ideas?

I haven't a clue! Hold on, there was a label!
The label says that tubers should be protected overwinter, unless in a sheltered position, either by bringing inside, or by covering with a layer of mulch!
So now we know! :~)))

Thanks GoYs! Glad yopu enjoyed it!

cracking pics, had to look twice at the big guy with his dug..lol, school kids one,s are great.

YOU had to look twice????????
I thought I was hallucinating!
And when the dug performed his little "trick", well!!!!!

I know your all expecting this but.................
I can see that the 'dog' was a person dressed up but what is it about the 'man'? I'm confused ? ? ? ? ?

He was on stilts, but they were covered with "legs" & socks, so it looked pretty real!

Arrrrrrrrh No still don't get it...........

Look at the height of him!

Brill blog as always Marie thought the kids garden where great.

Thanks Carol! They WERE impressive! I love the way kids' minds work!

Ohhhhhhhh of course, I get it now! ! ! He's nearly as tall as me.............

Yes Digger!

Hi M
that giant scotsman is Big Rorie . . .in the mid seventies he bought a derelict castle called Mains Castle he then done it up and eventually sold it , he made a great job of it , I remember it as a ruin and its much better now its been restored. He has been doing the "Big Rorie" for a long time I have never met the guy but he must be a real character.

He was hilarious! Had a brilliant rapport with the kids too!
How you doing, Mac? Long time no see!

im good was away golfing to montrose , arbroath and a few others stayed at a place at arbroath called I think the Rosely Country House Hotel , it's a great place an old old house all wood panelling and coal fires and quirky fixtures and fittings a bit like the Adams family house but really friendly a great place to stay. So I not been on lappy for a while but back now for three weeks then its Turkey Yeeha!!

LOL! You sure its not Torquay??
The hotel sounds like just my kind of place!!

No kidding it was brilliant there was a dozen of us and we were the only ones there , the gardens had Chilean pine trees (monkey puzzles) they must have been nearly as old as the house 1803 when we turned into the car park on saturday night after the golf ,the headlights shone on at least 40 rabbits all staring at the lights, but the house was the thing .

Dont tell David about the monkey puzzles, he's obsessed with them!LOL! It sounds brilliant! I love old houses! I'd've claimed squatters rights!!

hey just checked it they have a web site look at the photos of the Internal hallway to see what I mean

Will do!

Just looked, its great!!
