Looking out of the window this morning, a cloud inversion over Loch Shin makes it look as though there is a greater body of water there!

Nothing much this month except I went and wrote a book :-). It’s with the editor right now and there’s more information here. Possible cover with working title attached here. #gardenshour

November is coming to an end but the surprises continue. My first olive! Looks like my roses will make it to #December even if the Cannas don’t. #Gardenshour #Gardening #Gardens 🌱

Plenty of snow during the last week, so one of my highlights of the month has been harvesting my inside dwelling Basket of Fire chillies (now in the freezer and being used)!🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Love this book so much! A couple of yrs ago, we were listening to it on a long journey. Stopped to lunch in Dunblane & they just happened to give us the bill inside a part of this very book, at the very part of the story we had come to! Not sure I've ever experienced such a coincidence in my life!😂

This Raven passed right next to me. Pity that the light was not good and the picture was backlit. Still, what a majestic bird.

Sunrise from the kitchen window this morning. Flasks of hot water and soup filled as the electricity is off 9-4 for scheduled local work (don't envy them in this weather). Were going out for lunch, but the snow & ice has put a stop to that!😂

John Arnesby Brown's 'The Cross Roads,' (c1953) depicts a junction at Hadiscoe in Norfolk on the Reedham to Beccles road. St Mary's church, v with its distinctive Saxon round tower, sits on an area of higher ground and is a landmark for miles around.

Just as literature has its famous quotations, art has its famous paintings; Van Gogh's work is on lunchboxes to umbrellas. This work won't be among them. It was made in 1881 while studying under his cousin Anton Mauve, Van Gogh thought it one of his best watercolours.

This is a new vegetable bed. It's taken three years of layering cardboard and compost to get here. Garlic's up, 🤞 #GardensHour

#GardensHour They were going to be killed off outside this week, but they are looking lovely inside!🧡💛
Rescued some Calendula a couple of days ago from frost which would do for them if they remained in the garden!😊🥶🌼
