Speak up!

Great to see so many people enjoying the seaside on this beautiful sunny day! Kayakers, snorkellers, sand castle builders, dog walkers, swimmers and paddlers... I might join them for a swim tomorrow if the weather is as warm as promised 🧜‍♀️ #largobay #beachwalk #swimming #seaside #fifecoast #fiferocks #fifelife #Fife #summersun #paddle #sandcastle #beachlife (at Lower Largo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mDlWqFDP3/?igshid=1p4ls9wot6zf2

On guard at the entrance to the City of London, the overcast sky gave us a great silhouette@ #dragon #dragons #city #cityoflondon #dragonguardian #citylife #wealthdragons (at London Embankment) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1RGdP6lMwD/?igshid=17q54fl5loi96

With two beautiful women - Mercedes Leal (launching her fab book The Miracle Code) and Jenni Trent Hughes. So glad you came with me, Jenni. It was a joyous evening ❤❤❤ (at High Commission of Barbados, London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1OB6Bxl7GA/?igshid=10txu836tg6xf

Great exhibition of new work from collage artist David Mach at the Royal Scottish Academy! If you're in Edinburgh for the festival this month, it's well worth a visit 😎 #davidmach #collage #royalscottishacademy #art #edinburghfestival https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rakopFsIc/?igshid=18ex25cpy4ig6

Scotland's answer to Where's Wally - Whaur's Wullie? Yes, I'm on the bucket trail in Edinburgh with Oor Wullie, my favourite childhood cartoon character (along with The Broons) 😂 #oorwullie #oorwulliebuckettrail #cartoon #funart #edinburgh #edinburghfestival https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rZP8IFUcI/?igshid=6zyrd4sstuc

The hydrangea has gone mad this year, just beautiful - and a hum of activity, full of bees and hoverflies ❤ #summer #hydrangea #gardenflowers #bees #lovebees #gardenwildlife #hoverfly #sanctuary #blooms #insectfood #beauty #flourishing #bumblebee https://www.instagram.com/p/B0iLASxFdvz/?igshid=yv2uxn71e4gc

A piper was playing Mairi's Wedding this evening as I strolled along to St David's Church where my sister Mary got married many years ago. I'd been lucky enough to get a last minute ticket to the sold-out show there a few hours earlier and could feel we were in for a good night of music, poetry and laughter. I wasn't disappointed. It was a fabulous evening in a great setting and a huge credit to the organisers of the first ever #largoartsweek with #philljupitus #davidmach #rabnoakes #charlottewhittle #robertcrawford #dommigele and the house band #lundincalling. Loved it! (at Lower Largo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0W2UWQlwp3/?igshid=14o2b26n3e62t

Great to see so much ragwort around right now. It's a much villified plant but unfairly so, I say. It may not be great for horses and cattle but it's an important food plant for a great deal of wildlife including bees and moths #ragwort #leavetheplantalone #food #supportwildlife #savethebees https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RHesMlyq7/?igshid=1h5ei01k9udjm

High tide on the turn. It's a beautiful evening for a walk along the beach 😎🌞🐚 #beachcombing #Fife #fifecoast #fiferocks #fifelife #fifecoastalpath #hightide #seaweed #flotsamandjetsam #tide #tidal #outgoingtide #thetideishigh #ebbandflow (at Lower Largo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0OuRV8lN1w/?igshid=75pja3adnbcu

All paths lead to Lower Largo this week as the first ever Largo Arts Week kicks off with some big names in this small place including #davidmach and #philljupitus. St David's church is the hub - looking very different today to when I was a bridesmaid there many years ago!! #largoartsweek #visitfife #fiferocks #lowerlargo #arts #localartist #newevent #creative #creativearts #livingart (at Lower Largo) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0IekLQFjoC/?igshid=1d9v0xwuez1ia

Loving the roadside verges at this time of year.

Meet Mrs B, our very raggedy resident blackbird. She and Mr B, who doesn't look quite so bedraggled, love nothing more than a grape or two and ask for them if they see me in the kitchen. That's when they're not having a bath or chasing off other blackbirds and the odd thrush... One day I might get a better picture ❤ #gardenbirds #blackbird #lovebirds #songbirds #feedthebirds #livingwithnature #birdwatching #birds #backgarden #gardenlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BzjD6Filuj4/?igshid=1dpvjswg43a2v
