That secret project

My eldest son will be 21 soon (where did all those years go). I made him a quilt as part of his birthday pressie. His nickname at school was Scotsman, so I thought he would appreciate some tartan. Thanks to my mum for sending over the fabric.

Some Selkirk steps.

Oil seed rape and a poppy from the scottish borders.

Sheep fold on a borders hill side. Perhaps the Scottish side or perhaps the English side. I am sure Peter will enlighten us soon.

Today's Scottish daisy, flowering happily in Melrose.

A picture of Melrose high street.

And a picture of Carol and her brilliant fabric shop in Melrose, well worth a visit if you are ever passing through the Scottish Borders.

Bees on a globe thistle in my mum's garden back in the UK.

Sunflower and feverfew from our old garden. I will have to get round to planting some Sunflower and other seeds here soon.

Another sunflower from our old garden, this time with a few bugs. Maybe I should have named this blog Nicola's flowers!

A scottish sunflower to cheer up a very wet evening.

The first daisy pic post.

I took this in our garden in the Scottish Borders, before we moved to New Zealand
