Potatoes are not standard content in my feed, but both as a German and living in Scotland, it is a crop I value 😂

The #VADundee's upcoming exhibition
"Garden Futures: Designing with Nature"
explores how our outdoor spaces can shape a greener, more imaginative future.
Since gardens mean something different to everyone, the museum invites people to share images showing what a garden means to them. Contributions can be anything: a potted plant, the local park, a vegetable one has grown,...

From the Dundee Tapestry
https://www.thedundeetapestry.com/dundee-education
Dundee is an important destination for learning. Over 200 schools have existed in the city at one time or another, including church schools, private and charitable schools, and half-time schools – these were very common in the 19th century, when children combined working in the mills with part-time education. The city also has two Universities and several colleges.
I'm going to try to post some cool things from my 2024 .
Let's start in kinda reverse order with something from betwixtmas - visiting the Kimono exhibition @ Dundee V&A
It's also the first time I have been in the V&A and it's an interesting building- plus they had the Dundee Tapestry on display as well
Yesterday one final visit to the #Tartan exhibition #VADundee
Tioraidh!
The exhibition welcomed visitors with a loop of cuts from the 1962 documentary "Weave me a rainbow", which has a great psychedelic jazz soundtrack & you can enjoy it here:

Thanks for some great times and inspiration!
I enjoyed the #VADundee #BigWeekend exhibition:
https://www.vam.ac.uk/dundee/whatson/exhibitions/big-weekend-experience
So many activities in #Dundee around the festival are highlighted, including my #DundeeUni colleague Emily-May Barlow contributing to #MentalHealth discussions!
I've been looking at my summer pics so far and this is a definite favourite. This was a morning in June when daughter (pictured) and I headed down to the V & A to see the Tartan exhibition but it was such a beautiful morning that we had a coffee by the river first.
Like all cities it has all kinds of views and life but so much of Dundee is really beautiful. I find the light and water really calming (and boy do I need the calming).
