Too hot to move around much today so I'll lounge in the shade and enjoy my colourful flower display.

Dahlia Fun Pastel. Each year I forget over winter just how attractive this one is then each summer it surprises me anew.

From The Herald 10th May. Too good not to share. 😂

I love the way the Scottish Braes light up with the bright yellow shades of gorse at this time of year.

I heartily second your sentiments.
It shouldn't matter to me in Scotland but apart from the fact I have a son and grandchildren in America, I am personally affected by the Trump effect on my pension as shown. I am already retired so the effect is immediate.

My neighbour's garden shed. He didn't realise that if you don't look after it, Nature will eat it.
I helped him rescue it.

Good meme but here's what it means in real life. A private pension I have built over years being destroyed by an orange American idiot.

I was trying to think of a smart political comment to suit the current mood but why not just enjoy the feeding frenzy of the hungry ducks.

Why would a Scot hate Trump so much? I would love to ignore him but he is heading for igniting the World.
On a personal level, here is what he is doing to the pension fund I hoped to build to pay for care in my old age.
How low will it go?

Good to see the Highland cattle grazing contentedly in the Spring sunshine. My walks felt lonelier without them in the Winter.

This man is ready to abandon Ukraine and many nights more lives were lost. Blood on HIS hands for denying the protection he could give until he gets his greedy way.

Reminds me of Kind David of ancient Israel. Story here-

I wonder if King Charles complained that President Zelensky dared to meet him without wearing a suit. He also met the Prime Minister and European leaders in his customary outfit because we in UK can understand that it shows sympathy with his soldiers living in uniform during the war.

On a dreich, wet January day, here's a reminder that Summer colour will soon be here again.

Paisley looking better in Spring colours.

Leylandii Trees! The curse of small suburban gardens. Someone thinks it's a nice idea, sticks it next to a fence then ignores it for 40 odd years. Result is a looming presence robbing the neighbours' gardens of light, moisture and nutrients.
Just thought I'd sound off about a pet hate.

Another architectural gem lost to Paisley and Scotland. The former Territorial Army centre, 1896 by local architect Thomas Abercrombie is being demolished. Like the wonderful Ferguslie Mills, the Part Time School and so many others, another irreplaceable loss to our built heritage.

A couple of images from Summer 2024 to refresh your memory.

Get Out There! Even on really cold days it is well worth making the effort to walk for a while. This was at Castle Semple Loch, Lochwinnoch, Scotland. Ice on the water but the beauty of nature brings warmth and health to body and soul.
