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

"Garden Futures: Designing with Nature"
explores how our outdoor spaces can shape a greener, more imaginative future.

Dundee Education | The Dundee Tapestry

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:

BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Experience

Radio 1 are offering the opportunity for individuals to be involved with the Big Weekend Experience at V&A Dundee, which is a museum exhibition all about… you guessed it… Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2023!

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).
