Bubbles

I love the way the buds of these flowers appear like froth as they sit amongst the open blooms. 

A few hours at the allotment this morning - taking up more manure for the new bed we dug last weekend.  Then doing some weeding and slug spotting.  Then it was home to wash the car and have lunch before popping out for some food shopping.  The promised rain didn't arrive until mid-afternoon but now it is falling steadily so I am inside cooking a feta and spinich tart for dinner. 

Andy called last night to say he had come face to face with an otter in the River Tweed at Peebles on his evening walk - I don't think he could quite believe it.
