Wandering, waterfalls and a walled garden.

Recently my Mum and I visited the gardens at Dunvegan Castle in Skye. We were so lucky to have a lovely sunny day, and happily wandered the many paths and crossed the rustic bridges.

one of the many rustic bridges.

Although it's still early for most of the flowers, the Heathers were looking amazing.

...and the castle looked great too.

We wandered through the round garden, and admired the monkey puzzle tree...

We crossed some more bridges, and a couple of waterfalls...

... and then we found a lovely sunny spot in the walled garden.Protected from the wind, we sat down for a while, and just soaked up the Spring sunshine.

New website,products,and silver linings.

..

The old website was great to look and, and was really talented ,and multi-tasking was never a problem, and great to work with.. but there were issues. not that I blame the website, it was the provider. They became a victim of the  recession, and abandoned us, high and dry..

But every cloud has a silver lining, and here in Skye there are lots of clouds, so lots of silver lining too.

We have a new website,www.thetartanco.com 

 and Poppy has her own page.

visit Poppy's page.

and there are lots of new products too.
