My brother-in-law, Fraser and his wife are on a European trip in his motorhome.  Currently he is in Germany.  He was complaining yesterday about the rain and the flooding on the cycle path along River Rhine where he is at the moment.   “You should be in Scotland,” I said.  “We have a lovely sunny evening here.”   And I sent him a quick picture from the Hatton field to prove it.

The wild flowers are certainly coming out.  The buttercups are in their full glory, and even if the bluebells are nearly past on the verges, the blue colour has been picked up by the cornflowers which I noticed on the road leading to our local recycling centre.   I have always loved June for the wild flowers!
