The harbour at Eyemouth is dominated by Gunsgreen House, which was built by John Nisbet, using money made from smuggling! We didn't have time to explore it yesterday, but have put it on the to-see list for another day
as we walked along the harbour, we wondered what a group of people were looking at in the water. I edged my way in, and just had time to take one photo of this big fat seal before it disappeared under the water
there were lots of seagulls about
this might be a young one, but it was enormous!
I rather liked this old car, but as the driver was just getting out of it, I didn't like to take any more photos
just look at the blue sky ....... bliss!!
while Malcolm was watching the World Cup over the weekend, I was multi-tasking. First, I was watching some Crafsty classes and some Ricky Tims tv shows on my laptop (using headphones). Second, I was paying a little bit of attention to the football. Third, I was drinking a glass of wine. And fourth, I was prepping an awful lot of plain hexies for Mrs Billings
I had already stitched these three coloured pyramids together
they will be alternated with plain ones round the quilt, to form the final border
I have two photos to choose between for the "to finish" spot. Should I show you the heron that I saw this morning when I was in Hawick? I saw him as I meandered strolled walked briskly over the footbridge where the Teviot meets the Slitrig
or would you like this tractor, which was sitting unattended in the field behind the house? I did think about taking it for a spin round the field, but I would have had to climb on to our neighbours' wall, which is about five feet high, then climb over a fence, which you can't really see in the photo. So I settled for leaning on the garden gate and admiring it!!
