That is beautiful, Sheilabub! Lovely planting, and such a good contrast with the lawn behind - such beautiful greens. What are the tall plants in the back left of the picture?

Thanks Mel. The tall plants are Poppies and Corncockle in my "meadow" patch. I'll try a photo of them soon.

Sorry Scottish, but the occasional day of blue sky and a few fluffy clouds is such a treat, I can't help but revel in it. Maybe you'll get some soon. :))

So nice to hear you had a good time, Sticki! One of my sons spent exactly this week (4 years ago) on a camping trip down the isles. He had fantastic weather, and loved it.

thanks melchi! in good weather you cant beat it!!

did he go all the way down the chain of islands?

18 Jun, 2012

 

Yes - it was just after my daughter's wedding in Glasgow, and he did it with a friend. I am quite jealous. I love Scotland but have only been to Skye (in terms of the islands, that is) He camped on the beach in a couple of places. They used his car, which eventually gave up the ghost on one of the islands (not sure which). Not the easiest place to get a tow from the AA, but it didn't seem to spoil the holiday for him (car didn't arrive home until some days after he did!)

Your garden does look lovely, Sheilabub - but don't you just love it when these threads take off? (abject apologies if you don't!!!)
