Spud watch

Just a quick update on the burgeoning potato plants.  Here they are.
I am working at the Borders Book Festival in Melrose this weekend.  We are expecting 1,800 school children today ....  aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!

 I've just noticed that this is my 100th post on therunningwave!  Writing this blog has completely changed the way I go about my day.  I am constantly on the lookout for photographs wherever I go and the words are always buzzing around in my head.  It's become a major part of my life and it's all good!  Thank you for visiting.  The number of page views is increasing and I do hope you will leave comments when you feel like it.  Feedback is always appreciated!

 I am going for a stonking good breakfast now in my B&B, ready for a day surrounded by children, books, authors, beautiful surroundings and really lovely people to work with.  How lucky am I?
