Summer colour!

Now that summer has finally arrived, I thought I'd share some summer colour with you. Some shots are from our garden and some are when we have been out and about over the last week. Enjoy!

Our new arrival

It's been a very exciting time for us because of this little girl...

...Laylah Faith was safely delivered on 15th July weighing in at 6lbs 15 oz. Mum and baby are doing very well. Now we have six gorgeous grand children!

Wet, wet, wet!!!

As I sit here typing, the sun is trying to break through! Hopefully for most of the day, but I shan't be holding my breath. !! The French doors in the kitchen are open behind me and I can hear the farmer in one of the fields adjacent to our house. ( I hope he knows something we don't!) I'm having a late breakfast today, I didn't really feel hungry when I got up few hours ago. So, once my porridge is made and eaten I'm off out into the garden. first job, dead heading the roses. Boy, have they taken a battering just lately....

...it pains me when they are battered by the wind and rain...

.... the roses are plentiful this year....

.......we're so pleased with them....

......these are ones which are in the back garden....

.....there are more in the front garden, they are all reds, white and creams. Pictures on the next post! So as soon as breakfast is over I'm off outside...

..and once I've taken care of the roses, I have to paint the Forth Bridge...

.....well my version of it! All will be revealed!!
