I've chosen the dreichest of days to start replanning the front garden. Any ideas for good seaside planting? The garden is north facing but catches the evening sun through the summer☀️. Honest! #frontgarden #seasidegarden #wintergarden #scottishgarden by the way DREICH is my favourite Scottish word!

Enjoyed a blast on North Berwick beach this afternoon. My phone died of the cold but I got a short shot of the rolling waves and ominous clouds. Love East Lothian! #getoutside #scottishbeaches #visiteastlothian #visitscotland #scotland #northsea #waves #coastline #eastlothianlife

Is that the Loch Ness monster in Port Seton harbour? No a lovely lazy seal and a beautiful winter day. #visitscotland #winter #weatherwatching

As we and the rest of the central belt remain in tier 3 and England goes into lockdown again, I have decided to close The Store for November. So sad to have to cancel my guests. Fingers crossed Covid restrictions will lift to allow Christmas travel and I'm going to spend the time refreshing the paintwork and making the place extra specially Christmass ready. 🎄🎄 For now a sunny farewell ( filmed September thanks 😊 Stu and Dave) #onlyinscotland #visitscotland #dreamnowvisitlater #holidaycottagescotland #holidaycottagesuk #scotlandtravel
