My last page for Chris's theme this month over at Art Journal Journey
A digital page, the youngsters are having fun on the beach, I hope the ice lollies don't get dropped in the sand.

or......
perhaps for me a return visit to Floors Castle in the Scottish borders where we were back in May.
I imagine the gardens have changed a lot over the weeks. These well looked after apple trees against the wall will look so different to the ones that we allow to grow as they wish in our garden
Our trees are full f fruit, this one with cooking apples, nearly ready to use. [you can see a photo of my trees in blossom here]
These apples in the next photo will be for eating straight from the tree
by September....they need to grow a bit and sweeten up.
My T day reference today to join friends over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths
is this happy cup and pot my tea came in,
with the lunch we had in the castle cafe.
There is something about dotty china that makes me feel happy when I see it.

I had locally caught salmon made into fishcakes,
himself was tempted to home made pie.
Thank you for calling in to see me , I hope you all have a good day.

ReplyDeleteOh, how many apples!
That's a great journal page, so full of summer fun! That spotted china is gorgeous, and your food looks very tempting, I just love salmon fish-cakes, yummy! Floors Castle looks beautiful, love the fruit trees, so tempting. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA happy beautiful page.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous castle but your Apple tree looks much more awesome 🍏
A healthy looking lunch 🍅🍕
Enjoy a day 😘
What a fun page! Going to the beach is always a pleasure for me and an ice lolly too, what a treat...lol 😉. Wow, the castle looks amazing and I love the happy teapot and teacup set, so cool! I would happily eat the scotch eggs too - yum! I hope you are feeling better and sending you very Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteGreat Summer page. I like the polka dot tea pot and cup. Your apples look great. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteI love your fun beach page Yvoone - those lollies look esepcially cool and delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour apple trees look lovely and full - assuming in a few months you might be very busy pie making etc :)
Still hot and sticky down here (and I'm still moaning about it ha ha) but looks like being an unsettled week with blustery showers.
Hope you are feeling much better.... Gill xx
What an adorable digital page you created for Chris's theme at Art Journal Journey. I had to laugh at the thought the children might drop the "ice lollies" (we call them Popsicles) in the sand. It's so fun and a great entry for AJJ, too.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is a castle, Yvonne. It is humungus. I can't begin to wonder what it would cost to heat it. The grounds are beautiful and the apple tree is unique. YOUR apple trees are amazing. To live somewhere I could step outside and pick my own fruit is really mind blowing.
That is an adorable tea service. I agree that the "dotty" china is fun. Thanks for sharing it with us, as well as your art for T this Tuesday. I hope YOU are feeling better, too.
such a sweet beach page.I love the English "ice lollies" :) Oh how lucky to have apple trees-yum. And Floors castle- wow- immense looking and gorgeous! Love the dotty tea pot and cup set, and your salmon cakes looks so good..ok, need to get some breakfast now...happy T day!
ReplyDeleteCute cute page Yvonne! I hope they don't drop their treats into the sand either because we know there would be tears then. And the castle hass gorgeous gardens and is itself pretty spectacular. Love the teapot and cup. They are so much fun! Happy T day. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGreat page as always Yvonne - and some lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling beach page, Yvonne. I've never seen an apple tree so loaded with fruit! The dotty china makes me think of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
ReplyDeleteHappy T-day! Eileen xx
What a fun going to the beach page. It makes me smile. OH, I miss my apple trees! These look bigger than mine ever got, though. And they are heavy on that tree; I can see that! Are you feeling better this week? I do hope so. Lovely post. Happy T Day.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lot of apples on your tree! I love cooking apples and i wish I could buy them here. Spain is too hot I think for apple trees.
ReplyDeleteThe Scottish border castle looks wonderful. It's pretty big too by the looks of it.
And that dotty teapot indeed makes me smile!
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
The cheerful page makes a perfect happy entry for AJJ dear Yvonne. Thank you for supporting AJJ again so well this month!
ReplyDeleteWhat acastle, wow and your apple trees are adelight to look at! Happy T-Day, I hope you feel well again! Big hugs, Susi xxx
A really happy beach page, Yvonne. Yes I think the ice lollies are looking a bit unstable, hope she catches them in time. I love the bunting too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great crop of apples and the cooking ones look large already.
Maybe a visit to the castle would be a good idea just now as the castle might be cool inside (all the thick walls)?
ReplyDeleteFun digi piece. Loved the photos! Happy T day!
Fun piece. There’s a little beach on the island where I’m taking the workshop. No children as I visit the beach at sunrise to do some meditation, but it’s a happy place just the same. That castle is pretty cool. I wonder if there’s a fun tea service like the polka dot one. Looks like you’ll have a fine crop of apples.Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteOooh! I adore this page Yvonne! Thank you so much for sharing it at Art Journal Journey and for your support during the month, even when you weren't feeling good! That castle does look to be well looked after! Your apple trees really are looking as though they have enjoyed the weather we've been having! I hope you have been Ok in this awful rain we've been having - the Mersey is really high at the moment! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWoowwww I love your Art page Yvonne !! Really fantastic colours, and a very happy scene. The castle is really beautiful, would like to visit every corner. But so so cute are the amazing cup and teapot... love them!! Happy belated T-day (sorry I ´m late) I like apples very much, my fave, the red one!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a very nice Friday, and send you big hugss.

ReplyDeleteLove your happy summertime beach page - definitely captures that lighter-than-air excitement of summer holidays and sun and sand and ice-cream. Floors Castle looks like a wonderful place to visit... it'll have to go on my list.
