Sunday 18 September 2011

Well the second night of the tour is in Dunfermline so its only about a mile from the b and b met some really nice people again everyone is so helpful.

  Wednesday morning and its off to Edinburgh to van Vliet to buy some flowers for the next two nights demonstations.  Today it was quite hot no good for the flowers.  So the flower lady headed off to find some food and went to the country park just outside of Pennicuik where she prepared the flowers and read her book parked up in the shade.  There were some funny looks from passers by.  The b and b for wednesday night was the Aaron Glen guest house in Loanhead it was very nice good size car park for the large vehicle she drives.  We can recommend this one also. 

Pennicuik flower club is small and like all the others is looking for new members everyone seemend to enjoy the night and the committee were very helpful once again.


Well the last day of the tour home tonight.  Its hot again so the flower lady went to the Glentress country park just outside of Peebles and once again sat with the doors open and read her book.  Its getting to a cruicial point now I cannot believe the ending you must read it.  Should have brought a bike its a great cycling area in the forest.  Not good on your own though.

Some retail therapy in the afternoon they have some gorgeous shops in Peebles town centre.  The sun has gone in now so the flowers can be left to their own devices in the back of the van.

Peebles flower club tonight lots of lovely people they had a couple of visitors tonight hopefully they had a good night and will join the club.

Thanks to everyone from all of the clubs its lovely to meet you all and have a successful year.

Well the flower lady has been up in Scotland again on a tour of the flower clubs.  This time she has been to Kirkcaldy the wind was howling on Monday what do they class as a high sided vehicle on the fourth road bridge.  Never mind she is living to tell the tale.  The ladies at Kirkcaldy are a very friendly group and seemed to enjoy the demonstration this time called today i went shopping.  Stayed in a b and b called the pitreavie Guest house in Dunfermline it was very good and she was very well looked after including the use of the garage for some of the flowers.  Tuesday a bit of retail therapy in Dunfermline some cake and coffee as well as lunch.
A book to recommend called one day which could not be put down in fact read the whole thing in three days.
