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.

Morning, Again with the dark clouds and wind 
got to go back over to the garden centre for another lavender, there’s plenty of space for one. Just hoping they still have some left.
Stable duties this afternoon, by evening I may just get my feet up and some peace, I want to watch that celebration of Attenborough’s 100 years.
Have a good day. 
Morning. Cold wind here this morning and a few showers. Not much planned for today, have to wait in for my niece as she left her key here yesterday, she’s coming back to finish the painting today.
Afternoon, Sun n Showers again. Been working out in the garden most of the time since I got back from the pool, been moving a few things around and planting on some young plants in the greenhouse before they can go into the garden, hopefully by the end of the month, but this weather is strange you just can’t trust it to not come cold again and I don’t want to lose the young plants. Especially my new Southernwood it’s on very careful handling. I had a big one but lost it to frost a couple of years ago. It’s taken me Soooo long to find a replacement, damn things are so hard to get a hold of in Scotland.
Evening. The weather here wasn’t to bad here today.Had my niece and her son back again to finish painting the doors. Then the hairdressers and a visit to the shopping centre, off to Ibiza tomorrow with my nieces for a week. Rox I don’t have interest in the garden now, my nieces dad cuts the lawns and I have a gardener who keep it tidy.
I always loved gardening, my mum was a great one for working with plants, I used to help her often especially in the greenhouse. She taught me a lot.
Have a good holiday. I expect the thread to go to sleep now, till you return. Lol.
My mum used to have green fingers … she could make anything grow from a seed or a cutting. Plants always have to take pot luck with me.
It’s gone dark real early here today and now it’s drizzling. So much for spring.
@valentinojess … have a lovely break in Ibiza.
@Rox … I hope you’ve got your lavender bushes sorted … beautiful smell and the bees love em’.
Rox any house plants like Hyacynth I used to plant them in the front garden, also planters. Really cold here this morning, so looking forward to some sunshine. Thank you ladies looking forward to the break.
Morning, Cold here as well, but it’s not stopped my planters needing water, just been out watering them all till the waters running out the drain holes, that should keep them going for a few days 
Got to stop in waiting for a parcel, hoping it comes before lunch as we had planned to head out with the Clydes. 
Enjoy your break.
