LOOKING UP AND DOWN......

.....in Scotland, where this weekly photographic meme originated ( the brainchild of HELENA)

If you are a regular reader you will know that I was back in Scotland last weekend.....you will also know that I have been back there a few times this year..and you will also know that the weather in Scotland (or, indeed, most of the UK) has not been so great this first six months of the year!

Now admittedly, I DID check the Weather Forecast before I went and I knew I shouldn't need the winter woollies this time, but I was still shocked when I stepped off the plane and, not only get blown down the steps, but:

LOOKING UP......

saw this sky...not a cloud in it!


LOOKING DOWN


I had been brave and not worn my boots this time...and I realised my feet WEREN'T at all cold!...in fact I had to swap my long sleeved tee-shirt for a vest top, as soon as I got to mum's!

Sadly, for those still in West Central Scotland, mum tells me the weather has reverted to type and the sun has bade farewell yet again!

I hope you mange to see some sunshine this week , wherever you are in Blogland!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  1. Lovely photo of the sky. Unfortunately, the weather has been gloomy this week and I cannot believe that I have had to turn the lights on at 6pm in June!

  10. How lovely to see a clear blue sky :o) I'm usually the first into my flip flops at every opportunity, but I've worn them twice so far all year! My boots are still my main footwear even now that it's June!

  11. What a perfect blue that is--in fact, I want to sample it out for possible use in something photoshop.

    I was grateful for clouds early today when I was working in the yard--it's summertime in Florida so the humidity is way up there but it was actually fairly pleasant without the extra heat from a full-on sun.
