Gorgeous Day


Hi!  Sorry I've nothing crafty to share with you tonight but it's been the most gorgeous day here with temperatures reaching 23 degrees.  Instead of playing in the craftroom I went to Broughty Ferry with my friend while Mr C was playing golf with her husband.

We had a fabulous day browsing round all the little individual shops, so many beautiful things but all I bought was some knitting patterns.  We went into the art gallery where Timmy Mallet has an exhibition on at the moment.  As an entertainer I was never too keen on him but his paintings are awesome.  There were quite a few I could have taken home with me (but I spend too much on crafting!!!).  We had lunch and in the afternoon we went to the Italian ice cream shop and then had a walk along the sea front - we thought we were on our hols.  I took a couple of photos just to remind ourselves that we do have sunshine now and again.

Hope you've had a lovely day
Hugs

The shrub is Ceanothus. I love them and had a beautiful one at the house before last.Bought one when I moved to Wales but it wasn't happy there in the acd soil sand didn't survive long.
Glad you made the most of the sunshine Anne.

Hi Anne

It sounds like you had a lovely time with your friend. Fabulous pictures too.

We used to have one of those trees .. .. we called it a Californian Lilac. It never looked as pretty as the one in your photograph though.

Hope you are having a good week.

Love Jules xx
