feeling hot, hot, HOT!



It has been another beautiful day here in sunny Morayshire!
Emma & family came round for a bleather and some nibbles....
Andrew made yummy scones...Mmmmmmm!

But it wasn't just one of the salsa's that was a wee bit hot today.......

Guess who forgot to put on the sunscreen....
even though I left it out so I would see it and remember to do so...............


Yeap......That will be me then!

We were only out for an hour or so,
and I made sure there was a sheet in the shade for the little one.....

Oh well....Will suffer from that later on!

Was lovely to see Emma & Co. I love her kids,
oh sure Emma and Steve are lovely too.....
Hahaha



The garden is a bit neglected just now,
I am not doing a good job at watering the pots...
and a few are showing signs of that.
But....


some are looking just lovely.





Andrew & I stayed out till really late last night in the garden,
it was lovely and cool , and we used the fire basket we bought.
Even made toast on it!
Poppy loves to carry sticks and we have a nice little collection at the top of our drive.
Drying nicely under the trailer just for this!


It gave off a lovely heat.....

And if you add the lavender clippings we have been drying since last year.........



You get that effect!!!!

Oh yeau BABY!!!

Oh......one last thing......
You done yours yet Emma???

Hello babe. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon...especially the sun burn and the burnt tongues!! LOL!
Apologies for my kids eating your whole fridge but thanks so much for letting me steal all your herbs!!
Big (gentle because of sun burn) hugs.xxx
