Lupin in bloom on October 17th in Galloway Scotland. Verbena and dahlias too. Lovely.

Good to see some Brent geese back on the beach at Garlieston today. At least eight of them. Brent geese usually stay here over winter. #garlieston #geese #brentgeese #birds #rspb #scotland #twitchers

Beautiful black cat. It’s not mine. He pops in when he chooses. I was ambushed in the garden and he followed me to the kitchen. Seems comfy on my table. I enjoy his visits. Top cat. #cat #CatsOnX #blackcat

On Wednesday I had a heart attack. Today two days later I happy to say home sometime tomorrow. I can’t praise the NHS ambulance crew and all hospital staff enough. I get emotional rethinking it all. New life from now on. Rest and recovery first. Time to heal. #nhs #heartattack

No bananas! Blimey. This was Tesco Extra at Dumfries today at about 2pm. Hopefully not a sign of supply shortages ahead. #banana #bananas #tesco #food #supply
