The 'What do you want ?' stage.


Blogger has been playing up. I tried to post this morning but to no avail. We've spent the day travelling down to London which is extremely busy with visitors heading to the Chelsea Flower Show. Here somewhat belatedly are some pictures of life before we headed to the airport.

The calves on the village green are growing by the day. They have moved on from being shy to the adolescent  ' What do you want ?' stage . Twin brothers glare at us from the  middle of what they clearly consider to be their field.

The shop windows gearing up for visiting southerners who find themselves in need of warmer clothing. Mothers who turn up for graduation in clothes that would be ideal for the south of France but find the temperatures 20 degrees cooler are the target audience.

The 'other' town beach is usually crowded with surfers. Now, in the midst of exam week and with the towns population shrinking by 40% , we have it pretty much to ourselves.

Could any sign be more St Andrews than this one  ?

I was wondering... I've been having trouble with Blogger for a couple of weeks now - not the posting part, but the receiving notification of posts part, and sometimes with commenting. Hey ho... anyway, glad to see this little update. Enjoy the 'big smoke' (although it's probably rather less now...) YAM xx

I was having trouble posting remotely the last few days, posts that said they were published were in scheduled and not posted. Enjoy London. I didn't pack enough warm things for our recent trip, it was cooler in Vienna and Paris than we expected.

i love the plant hotel - wonderful for both staff and students. We still have a tropical plant in our family that I had at university in the 70's. I think they feel like my pets and I cant bring myself to let them die..... The long Summer break has always been a plant issue for me at work in tertiary education - in the end I stopped having any plants in my office. Have fun in London. Are you going to the Chelsea Flower Show too?
