Thursday night was such a wonderfully warm, light night that I took the opportunity to plant up 3 hanging baskets, a trough and 3 plant pots. Soon I will (hopefully) have pretty flowers decorating my back garden, including this just outside my back door.
Gardening is not my strong point - I've lost count of the number of plants I've managed to kill off, so I'll be pleasantly surprised if any of the other plants actually developing lots of lovely flowers!?!?
Yesterday we headed off for a drive as the weather was so nice and ended up in Milngavie - the quilt shop I was hoping to visit was closed (again) so we visited Dobbies instead and had a lovely lunch. But I did end up getting a quilting book in Dobbies for a complete steal of £4.95. We got Euan a Toy Story book as he loves Woody at the moment and he's never been so quiet in the back of the car, it was really cute to see him holding this huge book and really studying it!
Today we did think about going to a local farm for special Easter open day but the miserable weather made up our minds for us. So Pete ended up convincing me to drive to Corstorphine to visit Guitar, Guitar (otherwise known as the Sweetie shop in this house) and he came away with a new guitar pedal - I've no idea what it does but as he's gigging tonight and has it with him, I'll find out tomorrow how good a buy it was! So after a complete soaking for me and Euan when we went for a little walk when Pete was 'having a wee shot' of the pedal, I decided I needed a 'sweetie' too. So a drive back to Stirling and I now own a 1/4" foot for my sewing machine. It was supposed to be my mother's day present, it's only taken me a month to get it.
So now I have no excuse for wonky seams!

Your lavender looks great. Better than my new specimen last summer which I decapitated when I threw down the swing ball racket to run inside for the phone! But it survived. Hardy little buggers after all!
