Fresh Flowers In The House

We love fresh flowers in the house, so I grow many for cutting on my allotment down the other end of the village for this exact purpose.

We're just coming into the peak for this crop now, it's a little later than usual due to the cool May and June we had this year.

Sweet Peas, Carnations, Larkspur and Statice. ,
Gladioli are a particular favourite of mine, they look so impressive in a vase.

Everyone Is Eating Other Peoples Dinner`

First the Pine Marten discovered the feeder intended for the red squirrels (see previous post) and he's now a regular visitor (if you're booked to stay with us in the next couple of weeks be sure to ask if you'd like to see him).

Now the red squirrels have decided to move on to the peanut feeder intended for the birds.

It's not that the pine marten have scared the red squirrels off their feeder, they're on it every day as well and we keep it topped up, it's just that some squirrels seem to relish the challenge of hanging upside down trying to pull peanuts out through the wire.

Visit To Glen Nevis

We had friends here for the weekend from Atlanta, so we went to Glen Nevis for the day.

The weather was beautiful, so warm in fact that we went swimming in the river.

We took a picnic with us and layed out our blanket by the river.

It was a perfect day.
