Hello again! Thank you again to all those who wrote and told me the flowers in the garden..
We've had...
..lupins and solomon's seal...
lots of buttercups and yellow poppies, and now some red ones...
Meanwhile, I've enjoyed the blog-break, but it's good to be back. My work has been extended until august, which is good news and the course continues with a rewrite over the next 2 weekends. Oh the sun is shining and I'd rather not have any more work to do!
I did squeeze in a couple of artist's dates over the last 2 weekends - although the second one wasn't really an artist's date as I went with Suzanne and Susan to Potfest up in Perth which is atmospherically set in a cattle auction. Bulls and china shops always come to mind. No photos, I just enjoyed it without documenting.
The previous weekend was Loch Lomond Quilt Show which was nice and local. These quilts were hung in the trees by the National Park Centre, although the highlight for me was the appearance of Jen Jones's Welsh quilts.
This is a detail from one of them. I've seen Jen's book advertised about the quilts, and along with meeting the quilt artist Pauline Burbridge, it was one of the highlights.
It feels funny coming back to the blog after a break - I almost feel a bit rusty - although there have been things I've wanted to share - like this formica during a teabreak at the quilt show!
and this poppy unfolding over 3 days...
...the black almost like eyelashes.
So thanks for coming back to read, and forgetting-me-not!
so good to have you back!
and fantastic photos too. x

Nice to have you back, as always your photographs are superb and your garden flowers are looking lovely. The snails always eat any lupins I try to plant.
