Party boy!

Not only did Ted enjoy his first walk in the outside world yesterday, but he attended his first social engagement.  A puppy party, held at the vet's.  And engage he did!  There were just four puppies. Three boys and a girl.  The boys - a black Labrador, a Border Collie, and Ted.  The young lady, a long haired dachshund, so sweet and pretty, who hid under a chair for the duration, looking out with soulful big brown eyes, too timid to join in.  

 The boys dived straight in.  They had a whale of a time, mostly spent underneath a desk, in a tumble of fur, wagging tails and good-natured teeth!  Ted was completely undeterred by the two bigger boys - twice his size.  He had an absolute blast, and is now counting the hours until next Wednesday evening's puppy party!

    What fun! But on the serious side - I wish every new puppy owner would take their dog to a puppy party or a puppy training class so that they could socialize with other dogs. It's essential if you want a dog that isn't aggressive when it meets other dogs later in life.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Colonsay postcards - on arrival

The first thing I do, once we have unpacked our car, which has been groaning with all the stuff we need for a week's stay in the holiday cottage, is head for the outer gardens of Colonsay House. It is a place of wonder for me! I particularly love the leaves of the giant rhododendrons. There are many different varieties, all planted in the early 1930s. The outer gardens are generally overgrown, having had little tending over the decades. That makes them even more magical! The old woodmill falls apart a little more every year, but that's fine by me because I love corrugated iron and especially if it's rusted! And of course the bees. Colonsay's beekeeper, Andrew Abrahams, has one of his apiaries on the edge of the pine wood. So lovely - the hum of busy bees and the heady smell of the pines. We are here - finally! Delayed by four months by the wretched virus, but now I am on holiday! Hooray!

Found items IAVOM

I am on holiday on the Inner Hebridean island of Colonsay. It is my happy place. Thoughts of Colonsay rattle around in my head each and every day I am not here! I haven't got a vase to share this week but some lovely things I have found over the past few days, which are just as beautiful as a vase of flowers! I hope you agree! Here are some leaves of giant rhododendrons, growing in the outer gardens of Colonsay House. Some skeleton leaves of magnolia. The dried stem of a kelp seaweed. A couple of conkers (can never resist those!), and a branch heavily populated by a number of lichens. The air on Colonsay is so clean that lichens flourish here!
