excitement at Whiteford

as always tonight's concert at Whiteford ended with a beautiful series of bangs, and Google report that they exceeded their bandwidth, is this a reference to the number of fat people on the stage?

holidays by the seaside

One sunny day! The pond seems much bigger. Downderry beach on a beautiful day.

rock pippit

a rock pippit by Venterdon Pond, well quite close.

betony

the beautifully named betony is beginning to appear in fields and hedgerows, if it can push up through the constant rain.

slugs and all

At least something is enjoying the wet weather. The red and black fringe reminds me of the skirt of a hovercraft; perhaps that should be hoover all my plants craft. In fairness this slug and about ten others were all on this specimen of hogweed. Maybe it was a slug slugfest.

mad dogs

what you cannot see is the crisp about six inches above Harriet's snout. And to think this time last year we were winning prizes.
