Esmé looking for crystals

Esmé likes rocks and she took her new hammer out at the weekend. She brought back lots of agate and several geodes. We also tried our best to avoid the hundreds of ladybirds.

Dolphins

The best of the dolphin pictures from last weekend. They were very close to the shore at Scurdieness but still very difficult to photograph.

n_ilk at The Botanics

We had a great time at n_ilk at The Botaniks. Great acts enhanced by the enviromental interaction provided by the venue. The changes in light, sound and the interaction with the space even bats at one point contributed to the special feel. The only complaint we have is against the ants which have left us covered in very itchy bites.

Emé's new hat

The latest crocheted item. With felted heart detail. Isn't Gwen clever, and productive when she is stuck in the house ill.

Wildlife in the garden

Most of the tadpoles have now become froglets. It appears that there was one survivor of the first spawn, a toad, spotted at night on to ocassions. We have spotted one dragonfly so far this year and hope for more.
