    Sorry @Dovefromabove, too mean to buy the catalogue and none of the sculptures were labelled.

    Oh well ... never mind @punkdoc ... it's just that not even OH recognised the work and he's usually pretty hot on identifying individual styles etc.    We may or may not find out one day ... I have looked on t'internet but nothing about it yet ... there may be a catalogue online at a later date.

    Dove, could it be this one?
    Just a wild guess...
    Internet still extremely dodgy here and still plenty of troubles in my direct circle of friends and family too, so not much posting from me...

    Hope everyone is well.
    See you all soon, hopefully.

    I quite enjoy coming across sculptures, especially rusty ones, in gardens and landscapes but that shoe is just wrong.   Needs to be on a roundabout in a town that makes shoes and celebrate local industry.

    Lovely day today.   Temp around 27C with a breeze and no clouds.  Lovely for wandering round the covered market and the sea front and then sitting out for lunch.   Our rain forecast for tomorrow has gone away and been replaced with a dribble.    Humph.  Staying cooler tho so not all bad.

    Liri - glad you had a good day with mum and sis and well done for the chair business.  Mix and match chair sizes seem so obvious really.

    Got the spiraliser then Dove.  Great with beetroot for interesting cole slaw.

    That looks like it @kleipieper .... thanks ... mystery solved .... I should've recognised that  :/   

    Hope internet and stuff improves soon.  Good to see you  :)

    Hi, yes thanks Dove I am fine, Oh had to clear internet before new router arrived. Sad to say things not much better so despite what BT say it must be th line. Has anyone ever tried to get hold of BT For a communications company it’s a joke! 

    I  like the shoe, makes me feel like Alice!  Have you seen what glasgow greets you with?

    Liro bless your wee mum, it sounds as if she is peaceful which must comfort you all. I hope I and my loved ones sleep away. They say that end to life rewards a life well lived

    Am sore as overstretched at pilates. Then went for haircut, big  family”do”this weekend. Black tie etc then I discover today it’s party food and a dessert table. Not impressed. oH is type 2 and will have to be driver for us all as I can’t drive at night (till eyes done,)wouldn’t let daughter drive me at night let alone during the day as she is so out of practice after being away and sil not insured. Hey ho!

    more tomatoes ripe today,first time in weeks greenhouse door kept shut. It’s quite chilly!

    That's ok then @Lily Pilly  ... I wondered if it might be t'internet ...  :)  Ours has been down this afternoon, but they did let us know that they were working on the line ... all is well now.  

    The Spanakopita pie was delicious ... we had it with a spiralised courgette turned into a salad with crumbled feta, halved cherry toms and a lemon and EVOO dressing.  OH is very happy  o:)

    i was was going to post this earlier and then t’internet went down again. There’s an engineer up to his ears in cables and wires at a cabinet down the road ...

    Growhouse door shut here too LP - has been shut a few times this week. It was only 15 in there this morning, and has been that sort of temp for a few days. Only just into double figures here last night. Nice enough day apart from the downpours and the breeze, and it's always good for the garden. I may even have to cut the front grass soon!
    Result Liri - even though they seemed unaware your 'journey'...wasn't... :D
    Like the hare very much doc - but not the shoe. That colour gives me the boak....
    Good job we're all different though eh?  ;)
    Took some buddleia cuttings for someone on the forum who was looking for one. Will see how they fare.  My toms are a while away from being red, but the stripey ones are looking quite good. The sweet peas are looking better too - the rain has really helped them. So much better than watering.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    T’internet went down again ... lots of knitting done ... amazing sunset at the moment and it’s being reflected in windows across the rise ... gorgeous 😎

    Evening. The sky is looking all pink and gorgeous here, and a little cooling breeze coming through - lovely.
