Observations and photos from the sea-shore, countryside and villages around Largo Bay in the East Neuk of Fife, and from my small garden in Lundin Links. Occasional forays to other parts.

Aconite
The first appearance of aconite flowers just peeping out above ground. Snowdrops are beginning to push up through the soil, but not in flower yet.
Just loved your aconite photo, I have grown it several times, but always seem to lose it, as I call our garden here in New Zealand the "survival of the fittest". As you can tell it gets quite overgrown
Thanks Jean, Glad you liked the photo.I haven't been blogging very long and haven't had many comments, so was absolutely thrilled to get your comment from New Zealand on the other side of the World
I have not set up a blog as yet but am keen on reading the garden ones, as am a very keen gardener myself, and fet a lot of joy from my cottage garden. Grow a lot of roses, clematis, rhodos, lillies, delphiniums, and have an area we refer to as "the forest" where I grow a lot of shade loving plants. Am very keen oh alpines as well, and grow quite a few

Married. Semi-retired. I live in a village on the coast in the East Neuk of Fife. Interested in the flora and fauna of this lovely area, and recording my observations of wild-life at the shore, in the countryside, and in our garden. Also, a bit about the local area and some reviews of books, concerts, plays that I've enjoyed.
Although, I hope to take photos of what I see, I am not an expert photographer, however, I hope that the photos will be a good record of my observations of the natural world in a small part of Scotland.
