    Ian and I went to the Gardening Scotland Show in Edinburgh today. I took my camera with me, I took plenty of batteries with me, I even emptied the card so that I could take loads of piccies to show you all but......... I forgot to charge the batteries up!! [​IMG]

    Ian did, however, get plenty of piccies with his 35mm SLR camera but we have to get the film developed before I can show you the exhibits from the show. :(

    I was ever so good as I didn't take my purse into the grounds with me but then Ian went and offered me £20 to spend on whatever I wanted!!!! :smt026 You've never seen anyone move soooo fast!!! :D :D I bought 4 clematis (all 4 for £11) a beautiful new plant called White Robin (just like Ragged Robin but pure white) and 2 bulbs so that I can grow gorgeous black and white pitcher plants from them which are fully hardy. I'll take piccies of them tomorrow once the batteries are charged again.

    I also came back with a sunburned face, (which will peel of course) feet that felt as though someone was hitting the soles of them with a hammer, a raging thirst for a cool drink of water and covered in midge bites. Was it worth it? Definately!!! :D
