a day out...

I have been gallivanting around Scotland in the past two days - taking advantage of the great weather we often have at the 'end of summer'. (Not quite sure whether summer should be in inverted commas). Often the best weather comes at the beginning and end of summer. July - bring your umbrella.

Wednesday was Falkland, in Fife. We didn't visit the palace, but instead stayed outdoors all day enjoying

the flowers...

the musical floral displays...

and the canny little crow stepped houses...

...were they really that small in those olden times?
I loved this surreal little arrangement - it reminds me of something by Michael Sowa or Quint Buchholz although I can't source a particular image. Just great.


From there we went to award winning Pillars of Hercules Organic Café and farm shop for lunch... which I just fell in love with.
