Well done for handing Baby Lola back to her Mum and Dad at speed, Angela, and whizzing off down to Auchterarder! What a lovely place..... fine mature gardens and isn't the house handsome .... it'll be giving Derek ideas for his next project, eh?!!

To my great shame, I have never been to the Bands' garden....... and not for want of invitations, I hasten to add.... nor of open days to take advantage off...... I just knew I was missing out badly..... thanks so much for the photos, Angela.

Angie, I'm so happy to see that sheet of blue Corydalis, do you know if it is one of the flexuosa hybrids?  Even if no name, I'd gladly have such a fine spread of blue coryds.

[angie]

Mark sorry I never got the name of the Corydalis... but I bet you Maggi can tell us the name of it. I too couldn't get over how blue it was.

Robin, thanks for the link to your brothers home...Cloan house. We managed to get there and thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the views from the garden were so lovely, so was the tea and cakes   The weather kept dry so we had a nice walk through the woodland. I cant imagine how they manage to keep the garden and all the surrounding land so tidy. Here are some pictures of the house and garden.

Angie, how wonderful that you managed to fit in and enjoy two gardens in Perthshire - really great for me to see photos you posted from of Cloan and Pitcairn Gardens, thanks so much!  Did you see the Highland cows?

[Paddy Tobin]

Out for a walk this evening and came on a great spread of Ragged Robin - the flower not our friend in Switzerland!

Hi Robin ....Yes we walked up to see the Highland cattle, they are bigger than you think when you are close to them . We both enjoyed our day out and the evening sun was so lovely we took the scenic road back home. Thanks for putting the link on the forum.

[Ragged Robin]

You were really adventurous Angie  . Glad you had such a good time  . the Highland cattle are great characters and my brother combs them regularly, avoiding the swinging horns  . My sister in law was really pleased you made the trip from such a distance to support the opening.

Robin ..Your brother must be strong and brave to be able to give them a brush , there horns were so scary to me. We walked down the slopes and across the wooden bridge, it was nice and so peacefull there. Say thanks to your brother and sister in law for opening there garden. I always come home with ideas and another inch or two around my waistband with all those lovely cakes that the nice ladies put in front of me.


I am happy just spotted I think they are swallows nesting in our pony shelter, I have seen them here for 16years but they always nested somewhere else. I think they waited for the pony's to move out before setting up home . I hope they will have babies.

Angie

[Ragged Robin]

Angie, I'm so happy for you to think that swallows are setting up home in you pony shed - they couldn't have chosen a better spot!

As I'm fast approaching 1000 SRGC posts, I'm wondering if I win some sort of prize when I hit 1000, or do I just yell out BINGO and do a happy dance?

[David Nicholson]

No prize Mark, but if you set the timer on your camera before you yell Bingo and do the dance we can all have a laugh.

Another one for the "Muso's"

Wait until the sun goes down; pour a large glass of red; light up whatever is your indulgence and listen. And I thought the original would never be bettered but IMHO it has.
