The Walled Garden

Staying with friend whose husband is the head gardener at a castle in Fife. This is an old bit of wall in their own garden, which is reassuringly unmanicured.

It was so super to see them again, to catch up on news and just spend time with them. Went for a good muddy walk and picked lots of blackcurrants, while Ollie just picked up great long strands of brambles in his coat! Spent the evening chatting by the fire, drinking wine and trying to get bits out of him.

Shared the guest room with a Lord of the Rings Warhammer game, set up in the middle of a battle. Luckily none of the little warriors got me in the night!
