Come Rain or Shine


Phewwy it is hot round these parts! Not that we are complaining, but we have had to invest in a few fans to try and keep the flowers cool and there's a constant argument as to who gets to take Olive, our puppy for her walks (aka leisurley stroll through the park in the sunshine!).

The rain has not been a stranger either though, which at least has been keeping all the garden plants in good health!

Despite the whole of Shandon being away on holiday since the schools broke up on Friday, we had a busy weekend with 2 weddings, one at The George Hotel, the other at Craighouse. See photo above.

Talking of holidays, a couple of the local businesses are off on their hols too - one of which is Blueberryhill cafe next door, how will we survive?! No baked tatties and giant scones for us this week - boo! So we brought our own lunch in today - Innocent (the smoothie people) do veggies pots now, so just eaten a curry one and feeling very 'fu' and have left the shop with a floral yet spicy aroma!

Monday moan alert though - where are the bloomin bin men???! I am surrounded by bin bags and Olive is in her element ferreting around in them! they didn't turn up at all last Monday, and its looking the same this week...rant rant ;o))

Three weddings this week - a sunflower one, a daisy one and a peony one - all very summery but all with a contemporary twist - should be good, especially if the sun hangs around a bit longer...
