They look lovely specimens … I love lavender and thyme is a favourite too.

Morning, Rain and wind here today, nothing planned except dinner out tonight. Just take the day as it comes, enjoy your time with your friends Jess.
My new Solar Lights are great they do the job well. This was later last night.
Morning. I bought a Lavender bush one time in Morrison’s almost dead, I planted it and it thrived.Got some solar lights int the garage I’ll have to get them out and put them in the front garden.Weather doesn’t look to bad here, was supposed to meet friends for lunch but one isn’t feeling to good. Enjoy your dinner out tonight
Solar lights can be real cheerful and give planters a lovely air of mystery at night.
It makes you wonder what beasties might sneak about your plants in the dark … I haven’t seen a hedgehog for over a year, one fox last year and ever decreasing numbers of grey squirrels.
Morning a lot cooler here today and cold. I’ve only seen two foxes here since I moved in. Had new internal doors fitted I’m now putting everything back in its place. . Will have to go shopping later for something for dinner.
Afternoon, Dull and Cloudy again here but so far dry, had a fine morning playing with my new toy, I got an electric weed burner as I’m fed up with getting a sore back all the time while I yank out the weeds. Revenge Time for keeping growing ha ha. I had to call Dunc in as I couldn’t get the metal rod that connects the 2 bits together to slot in. He did it in moments, gave me a look and called me a dopey mare then strode off again…Cheeky Bugger, Coffee time and feet up now.
Looks good … better than using chemicals. In the right hands it could be a torture instrument … did you tell Dunc that 
Oh I know how to make him beg for mercy.

For what’s worth we have been using vinegar to clear the weeds. This is special 30% vinegar and that clears everyrging. And it is easy to use.

Morning. Cold wind here this morning and the heating is on. Meeting friends later for coffee and then a bit of shopping. Rox that looks lethal but it does the job. I have a gardener who comes once a month as I cant be bothered to go out and do the weeding myself.
Afternoon, not too bad a day, dry at least.
Not long back from the beach, The coming of Summer Viking Festival was on while we were there. Acted out by locals and the towns Heritage Centre.
I really must get back into the habit of carrying my camera again, I stopped after I lost Dageus. These are only phone pics.

Evening. Nice when the sun was out but still that cold wind. Rox they used to have the Viking Festival in Largs. They had the village and then the battle at the end of the Festival andset the long boat on fire and set off fireworks.
I think it’s become popular with a lot of town’s now. Thurso’s big fire festival in the winter is called “Da Doonie Day” It’s a smaller version of Shetland’s “Up Helly Aa” have you ever been to it?
Morning. Cloudy here this morning but not as cold. Hairdressers then goin when I lived in Largs.g to visit my friend she fell in the garden and broke her wrist. Rox never been to any of the Islands except local ones
Wow … Viking Festival is a new one on me … it looks great fun.
Thanks for the piccies …for a moment there with that burning Viking long ship it made me think of the Wicker Man for some reason.

Morning. Looks like it will be another cold one here. Going for a facial this morning and looking forward to it.
Afternoon, It’s really quite cold here today, Been dodging showers as well. Nothing on except the pool this morning, just been faffing about here catching up with things since I got home.
Put the heating back on, too cold for comfort without it.
Yes, cold here too at 10C and we expect it to start dropping later. Our wee dog is just fine for that weather but she should be getting shorter coat short on. Unfortunately the groomer, a lovely lady, has been quite ill so we are not sure that she will continue…(
Evening we did have a bit of sunshine here today. Had new internal doors fitted a few weeks ago, had my niece and her son round painting them while I was out.
It’s a lovely evening here after an awful dull day … May hasn’t started off too well at all.
