This'll be a thistle!

It was good to have a dog walk this morning without being soaked or nearly blown off my feet. The conditions were almost benign ..... a little drop of sunshine would have been welcome for our last morning but it was not to be.

Home for a few days now. Togbe goes back to Aberfoyle tomorrow .... I'll miss the wee fellow.  I need to do some work in the garden .... shrub pruning and  tree trimming but I know I'll need some help with the latter. L is very good at holding the ladder and directing the loppers!
