......... for another two years! It may have taken a whole day to hang all the quilts, but it only took about an hour to take them all down again. It had started to rain late in the afternoon, so our banner, which was hanging outside, got rather wet. I brought it home and hung it out yesterday to dry
while I was waiting for Malcolm to get home from Berwick, I had some fun trying to take photos of the many bees in the garden - just as you get them in focus they buzz off to the next flower
the olive tree is flowering
and the grapes are swelling
Malcolm came home with some photos of the dock. Another large ship had come in, this time to be loaded
several large lorries came in and parked, spoiling his view somewhat!
once the ship was ready to leave, the pilot boat appeared
yet again the swans had to make a dash for safety!
on Saturday afternoon he was entertained by a great cloud of seagulls
I had to get an emergency appointment at the dentist this morning, as a filling had fallen out (it was soon sorted, and the bill was more painful than the treatment!) When I parked in Hawick, I spotted this very large gull hopping from car to car
I was a bit early for my appointment, so I walked along to the cauld
I was delighted to see a heron standing in the water - there have been few sightings of them this summer
I'll be back tomorrow with lots of sewing
