Our immediate neighbours on one side are a young family… And on the other side we have youngsters…. Otherwise, this is the neighbouring farm as seen over the garden fence… We went over to say hello during my first few days here in Scotland where we got to meet some of the livestock and their […]
Just spotted this gorgeous little flower protected under the tree’d canopy on the woodland floor ~ They have a ‘splodgy’ variegated leaf They only stand about 8 – 10cm tall The flower reminds part of cowslip – part red campion!
