A summer Sunday on the West Coast of Scotland

Hiya again
Had a fabulous warm and sunny Sunday last weekend in one of the many beautiful gardens that dot the West Coast of Scotland.
The purpose of my visit, in the company of a lovely Oban friend, was to represent our Lynnside Community Garden at the Lorn Horticultural Society's Flower Festival. The afternoon was a great success – it didn't hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect.
Thank you to the hosts, Mr & Mrs Charles Struthers, for having us.
If you read this and if you're in the area, Ardmaddy is definitely a must, whatever the weather. The location is stunning, the garden a gem.
But here are a few impressions of last Sunday:
Just to prove that the sky was absolutely cloudless. Not my best photo ever, I'm afraid.
Some of the produce from our garden, all freshly picked in the morning. It was quite a job to keep things fresh and looking nice.
The Lynnside Community Garden table and display.
Some flowers from our garden.
The landlord calling out winning numbers at the raffle draw towards the end of the day.
Thank you for visiting. Come again soon.
Peace!
