“It was a day peculiar to this piece of the planet,
 when larks rose on long thin strings of singing
 and the air shifted with the shimmer of actual angels.
 Greenness entered the body. The grasses
 shivered with presences, and sunlight 
stayed like a halo on hair and heather and hills.”

From ‘Scotland’ by Alistair Reid

Morning!

I moan about the watering, but I love this time at the #allotment before work.

#gardening

Went to the #allotment yesterday evening with my parents after leaving it in their hands for a week while I’ve been away. It’s a shame we’ve gone from a cold spring straight into hot weather in the UK but my plants seem to be coping regardless. My first year trying brassicas and it’s the worst weather for it.

Frogs keep appearing near / in my greenhouse, a reminder that I still need to build a pond! Also harvested a huge amount of salad leaves that have grown massive while away.

Chookie Burdies by Shona Kinloch. Created in 1993, these are a collection of over 150 aluminium pigeons perched on the top of street lights in the Garnethill area of Glasgow.
