we are having the most wonderful weather here in Scotland at the moment
the last three days have been sunny with not a drop of rain
and today is just as nice, so the washing is out, the lawn is cut and the girls are sunbathing.
i never thought we would see weather like this on the first day of October this far North!!
this weekend saw us taking walks on the beach, seal spotting, buying new fabric, digging yet more holes on our patch of land and drinking lots of tea with our nearest friends and neighbours x
perfect
this is a photograph of talulla in the back of the landy all packed up and ready to go - bean is flat on the floor as she hates going out in the landy due to its loud noise and the bumpy ride!
talulla is like me - nosey - so she enjoys being higher up and seeing over the walls and hedges.
but back to this week.........
i intend to get the old sewing machine out
get the knitting needles going
and enjoy this sunshine
how cute is my new brooch????
a kitty sweater pin that arrived with the cute one without a name
all the way from America
from here
and as promised a peek at the goodies that will be boxed up and sent to the winner of my giveaway
i will leave this open until the end of the week so will no doubt add more treats to the pile as the week goes on
but so far it includes.....
lavender filled heart, lovely french soap, pretty cards, pack of eight Christmas cards, Christmas decorations.
if you are new to this slightly strange blog
the giveaway is in relation to this lovely
looking slightly startled at her first meeting with Binks!
Binks took one look and turned his back
if it ain't food he is not interested.
hope you are having a good start to the week too
although i kind of hope that it is raining in Kent - mwah ha ha
see you soon

p.s - leave your name suggestions on either my last post or this one, I'm not fussy, but make it a good one as i have a firm favourite at the moment but there is always time to change my mind.
i am fickle x

Yep, throwing in down in Bristol, too - so just stop with the showing off about sunshine, would you, please? Although I'm glad someone's having a good day of weather, I suppose :o)

Yes it's pouring down here in Kent hehe your thinking.
Can you send some of your lovely sun in with that parcel, then it's won?
Yuk! rain and grey skies, not very inspiring for painting Christmas stock. I'd like some sun or snow. But no rain.
Look forward to seeing the winner and love the kitty brooch.
Wet hugs from us :(
Catherine and the girls x
Isn't it fabulous?????
But I do have to remind you (as you hadn't moved up then) that we had NO summer at all.
I am planting out bulbs and clearing weeds, the grunt, snort, grunt of the pig waiting for me to chuck buckets of weeds into his pen.

Yup, pouring down in Essex too - but we did have a nice bit of sunshine yesterday.
I would have to call your new bunny...Bunnychoo. I think Binks is a little jelous of those ears!!!
Suzie Sews
Raining in Hampshire too

I think he should be called 'Hextable'. Don't ask me why? I don't even know.
It's raining really really hard. Please call him Hextable and then I wouldn't be so sad about the rain as I'd have your present.

And it's pouring here too! Love that first photo of T peeking through the window!xx
Scotland is the most beautiful place to be, especially when the sun shines. My other half is Scottish so we get to visit pretty often and the people are just great.
We also used to own an old landrover called "Larry" before it was stolen to use in a ram raid! Those pictures make me quite nostalgic for him!
Julia x
what about "roy"? hehehe!....
pouring down in the home counties too...
now what's this thing that I need to do for the giveaway? I think I'm being blind, but it is late...
I have a friend in Scotland who told me how glorious the weather is/was up there. I got absolutely soaked yesterday (Oxfordshire) but so far today it's dry. x
Its been really warm here in sunny Burgundy we had a work day on sunday helping out another nad english couple that are renovating as well. Today though the heavens have opened and rain has definitely stopped play.

It's raining in East Sussex if that makes you feel even better! Seal spotting, sunshine and walking on beaches, sounds wonderful Tracy!

glad you are enjoying some sunshine, we had some yesterday, but its grey today. Love the bunnie's whiskers, maybe "whiskers" would be a nice name for him.
Yes, Yes, Yes. We're in South West Scotland and though the summer wasn't great we have often found the early Autumn to be gorgeous. The past weekend was lovely. Monday was like a summers day. Tuesday wasn't bad either, sunny, warm and clothes drying on the line, children in the garden. It is pouring with rain today - but it's the first time in a couple of weeks and it does give an excuse to cosy up with stitching!
I Love the fact you are in the land of the scots, I am stuck in Texas! What about "Blinks" for the bunny?Wendy
LOVE that scarf!
That photo of Tululla in the back of the Landy just really cracks me up! She's so cute. Thanks for the laugh this morning. Amanda(aka Cottage Contessa)

Your dogs are beautiful. We had four whippets through my childhood. They were such wonderful dogs. I keep urging my Mom to get another one. I just started blogging, and enjoyed reading yours. Have a great week
Bristol
how about Betsy Bunny?
I've been reading your blog for a while now and love it, hope you feel better soon xx
I think you should call her Harriet. I don't know why I chose that name, it just popped into my head.
Glad you are settling well in scotland.
