Poppies springing into bloom by the side of the farm track. Small scatterings of scarlet for as far as the eye can see. The poppies have a brief but 'electric' impact on the landscape.
Wave after wave of serious French visitors strolling through town. They listen intently to their guides. Spanish and Italian tourists tend to be less disciplined when it comes to imbibing history.
One group of French from Pau meet another group from Orleans by the university chapel. They all comment on how 'beau' the town is and then how 'froid'.

Begonias are colourful, but do you ever see planters of thistles, or thistle displays around St Andrews for the tourists?

The temperatures are certainly dissappointing, of late. Not sure where that wind has been, but not close to the tropics, that's for sure. The eternal mystery of British summer....... YAM xx
European tourists may be seeking cooler weather, while very-warm Athens is full of Americans. You remind me that I still need to sow my poppy seeds when I get home.
The red poppies are stunning. Did any of the French tourists try the robust Scottish viennoiserie?
It is fun seeing places in your photos that I have seen in person, including the bakery.
I'm not sure about photgraphing begonias, but those poppies are stunnning. Along with sunflowers they are my favourite flowers.
Memories are taken from many places.
Glorious poppies.
