Nothing nicer on a sunny Sunday afternoon than sitting at the caravan with a cup of Earl Grey tea and a jammy pancake.

29 JUNE 2013

A bunch of Sweet William bring back childhood memories of our garden in East Kilbride where Sweet William, Lupins and Nastursium grew in abundance.

28 JUNE 2013

A night out with my Uni pals and its the bus into town.  Gives a clue as to what kind of night it will be.

27 JUNE 2013

The River Deveron as it flows through Huntly.

26 JUNE 2013

Its dull and cold outside so just the day for watching Andy Murray at Wimbledon.

25 JUNE 2013

Might only be Tuesday, but being at the caravan deserves a small libation.

24 JUNE 2013

Have re-kindled my relationship with my DSLR and been playing about with the zoom lens on it.  Zoomed in close to the flower of a chive and as the shutter opened zoomed out....bit of trial and error and this was the best of the bunch.

23 JUNE 2013

It's June, we are supposed to be in the middle of summer.  What has happened to the weather?  It is absolutely LASHING down.

22 JUNE 2013

A Great day out with the grandkids at the Grampian Transport Museum.  Matthew working on their road safety track trying to gain his provisional licence.  I have never seen such concentration.

21 JUNE 2013

It's feeding time in the back garden again.  Always interesting to see what breeds are attracted to the feeders in the garden.

20 JUNE 2013

Home sweet home.  Unpacked, washing done, grass cut, garden tidied, car washed.....Iam in need of a holiday.

19 JUNE 2013

On our way to Leith at the end of a fantastic cruise.  Thank goodness we didn't need to make use of the life rafts!

18 JUNE 2013

Last day of the cruise and we are in Kirkwall, Orkney.  St Magnus Cathedral.

17 JUNE 2013

A beautiful floral display in the main square in Bergen, Norway.  Just a pity I can't post the smell of the flowers as well.

16 JUNE 2013

We have been joined in Geiranger by the Aida Sol. Geiranger wont know what has hit it with all these tourists about.

15 JUNE 2013

What a view to wake up to this morning as we approach the village of Olden in Norway.  The scenery is spectacular....worth the bumpy seas last night.

13 JUNE 2013

So we are on our way.  Nice and sunny but with a cold breeze. The Caribbean it is not!

14 JUNE 2013

Today we are in Flam.  A really quaint little town at the head of the Fjord.  Not sure that there are enough visitors to hire all these bikes.

12 JUNE 2013

Ready for a week on the high seas.  Norwegian fjords here we come.

11 JUNE 2013

It's been a busy few days and we were up early this morning so it's off to bed early tonight.

10 JUNE 2013

School sports day and Matthew leads his team to victory in the relay race.  He also won the primary two sprint...what an athlete.  Well done wee man.

9 JUNE 2013

At last we have a solution to the cleared area at the bottom of the Garden.  Where the "summer house" was to go has lain vacant since February.  This weekend the new decking area was installed and it is looking dead smart, thanks to Blair (CD Landscapes for great decking...plug plug).  Now we have to get the new furniture just to finish it all off.....I love it when a plan comes together (eventually)

One of the two frog visitors to the garden this afternoon.

7 JUNE 2013

The new King Robert the Bruce Statue outside Marischal College, the Headquarters of Aberdeen City Council.

6 JUNE 2013

A beautiful sunny morning.  Just right for a good walk with the dog.  Amazing how many others had the same idea, the woods were full of dogs and their walkers.

5 JUNE 2013

The Bluebells are appearing in the garden.  Funny though, we can't remember planting them!

4 JUNE 2013

Remember as a kid blowing the dandelion seeds and making a wish.  The wish only came true if you wished for a garden full of dandelions a year later!

3 JUNE 2013

Brian and Ruby enjoying a really nice summers afternoon in the garden.  Good old fashioned summers day with paddling pol and tents in the garden.

2 JUNE 2013

It's amazing the effect that two months make on the greenery along the riverside.  This is the same river bank as that in the photo back on 12 April.....what a difference.

1 JUNE 2013

One of the Huntly "honey bunnies" scrounging some bird food under the bird feeder.
