    Love the waves with the rainbow Liri.  Glad you had a good time.

    OH and I have been out for walkies starting with a shower so a quick chane of caot as I was heading out of the door.   Came home with thighs tinglng form the effort then got shwoered and clean for going to the village fête which turned out to be a waste.  Turned out to be just a couple of marquee/tents and a smokey bonfire with two pigs on a spit.  

    Oh well.  The Xmas market tomorrow will, at least, be in the rather stunning Halles in Moutiers - terracotta tiled roof, 41 stone pillars round the outsideand the most amazing internal structure of wooden columns, beams and rafters.  Even if the content is pants we'll enjoy the stting.

  • Yes, @raisingirl, lots of lovely gardens, and mountains & sea as well...  I'll post some photos on the Camera Talk website in a bit, but here's one from the Botanic Gardens to be going on with:



    Glad you liked the waves, @AuntyRach and @Obelixx.  We got rather wet...   :D

    I’m sure the nice farmer with the camera found a suitable foster ewe ... maybe the lamb even had a step brother or sister to gambol among the daffodils with  :)
    or maybe he made someone a nice dinner..... :D
    I jest of course....naughty fairy.... ;)
    Beautiful pix Liri. The sea looks like snow inthat first one. Glad you were able to enjoy your break.  :)
    Comfy chair and access to beverages/snacks sounds about right for a lazy day AuntyR.  :)
    I'm awaiting our sausage casserole for tea. Right sort of weather for it. Turned out pretty miserable here with more wet stuff. Fairylet managed the road no problem, although she was a bit late, and therefore fast, turning into the nursery. My life flashed before me....  :#  :D
    Couple of plants purchased [ well, four ] for groundcover in my apple tree 'boxes', along with some white hellebores. Bulbs to go in there as well, for a nice winter/spring display - hopefully. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Glad you had a good time, Liri. Fab photos, even I could see them straight away with my slow Internet.

    Been a day of housework, hoovering, floor washing, dusting, followed by meatballs and pasta in front of Strictly.

    Late post but I will forget if I dont do it now. We heard tonight some road travel news.
    not sure if Joyce is around but if she is reading from the wings A70 closed from Monday 6am for TWO weeks,  it’s at Glenbuck where the squiggley bit is at the Loch.  I think they are just going to make it easier for everyone to end up in the Loch!
    the detour doesn’t bear thinking about

    Lovely photos Liri. Thanks for showing us. Any jigsaws? I couldn’t see any when I had little look..😳
    Miserable day here today. Cloudy, freezing winds from the south. The only good bit is the odours from the oven which has roast pork doing its thing.😛🤪

    Morning all to come/afties Pat.
    Murky and damp here - or what I can see of it. Enjoy your dinner  ;)

    Up to take older daughter to work. Wish she would learn to drive!

    Hi Fairy. When she gets her licence, then you’ll be worrying until she gets home. My daughter has been going through that with her son.🤨
    the roast pork was wonderful. Haven’t had it for ages.

    I know Pat. I'm not looking forward to that!
    Older daughter won't drive, she has anxiety etc, so it would be a very bad idea. I think it'll still be down to me to take her to work when it's the early start though - can't see her younger sis getting up to take her!
