Last night was the first meeting of the 2015/2016 session of Abbey Quilters, so as usual I picked up Maureen and we headed over to Kelso. After Sandra, our Chairman (you also know her as our lovely Linus Lady), welcomed us back and went through all the official stuff, it was my turn as the star turn of the evening! I was showing the members how to make the thistle stitchery sewing kit, and had entrusted Maureen with the camera, with instructions to please take flattering photos!!
I seem to have accumulated a mixed bunch of photos that you haven't seen yet ...... these first ones of spider webs were taken yesterday morning when it was very damp and misty
then this afternoon in the garden I spotted a bud on the hellebore
and a tiny rose - it is not even the size of my thumbnail!
I bought these lily plants some weeks ago in the supermarket for a few pounds ....... what a bargain!
we know that summer is over when the robin reappears in the garden
but after "the locals" posing nicely for Anna, normal service was resumed when this sparrow would only show me his tail!
and a very special "to finish" ....... today the Queen became our longest reigning Monarch - and she was here in the Borders! But I have to admit that we didn't go to see her, and I took these photos of the news report on the tv!!
