To be honest, I preferred Drum Castle; it was smaller, but somehow much more charming (and older, of course). Still, both are definitely worth a visit if you’re ever scampering about the Grampian countryside…
Grüss an Aachen in the pink! Straight out of the camera, no photo enhancements. This was taken yesterday. Here's what it looked like just a few days earlier. Which do you like better? ~*~
I usually go to the show every three or four years. Like a lot of people. Once you have seen two Chelseas you realise that one is much like another. Those who are going for the first time will have a fantastic time. No doubt about that. But after seeing a few of them, the appeal palls, and they begin to blur in the memory. I went last year, and as always the […]

The title hardly does it justice, but this post is about a meal I cooked on Saturday. Jane was away in London at a club committee meeting, so I had the kitchen to myself all day: bliss! I started by baking some bread. Having been so successful with this the first time round, I followed Paul Hollywood's basic recipe again, but this time I made a "ti […]
Som de fleste af jer vist er klar over, kan jeg godt lide at pynte op og sætte i scene. Således fik jeg skik på søjlepavillonen til arrangementet i søndags. Det er hyggeligt at skabe særlige stemninger, og i år har jeg en del vækster i mindre potter og pokaler både ude og inde. Min stil er nok lidt excentrisk, men jeg synes, at den […]

I have to start a little backwards ?A new lavender to me is Blue Cushion .. in fact I ordered it through mail order because I was so curious about it .. go figure I found it at the Loblaws garden center […]
One of the oddities of Blogger is that while I am free to edit a post after it's published you can't change your comments - which offers wonderful possibilities for practical jokes.

That’s an attractive looking castle. Shame the weather couldn’t have been sunnier for you. Still at least the snow seems to have gone.
