Under a Cloud

We've been clearing out an overgrown bed at the top of the garden, and today we gave ourselves a holiday, and drove over to Kelso for some plants to fill the gaps. 

We came home with a photinia, two viburnum davidii, and an escallonia. All very sensible and low-maintenance. And then we fell for a gorgeous pink rhododendron - that came home with us too. Just to spice it all up a bit.

In the same spirit, we drove home by the scenic route, and stopped for a stroll and an ice-cream in Town Yetholm - yes we had ice-cream weather today!  My white Magnum disintegrated in the heat, while TM smugly spooned up his carton of Doddington's. I have low tastes in frozen confectionary.

As we walked along, this huge black cloud appeared.  And then just as quickly disappeared leaving all blue and fluffy white as before. I took this shot of a very damaged pine tree just as the two kinds of clouds were colliding.  The rock is the top of a garden wall.

That was as wild as it got in Town Yetholm this afternoon.
