Forty Five Years - how did that happen?

Yes, last Saturday it was forty five years since the OH and I got married. Not quite sure where all that time went, it doesn't feel that long. Mostly! There again what does forty five years feel like? Time is relative after all.

To celebrate we visited Branklyn Garden. This is a hillside garden near Perth, developed in the 1920s and largely using plants collected by Scottish plant hunters in the far east, and now belonging to the  National Trust for Scotland. It's not huge, just under two acres but it's very well laid out and has interest almost all year round. We're already planning another visit in spring to see the blue poppies. 

It was  a bit of a grey day and eventually it started to rain, but as it was about time for our pre- booked celebratory afternoon tea by then that didn't bother us; we just took ourselves off to the tearoom.

Let me put it on record that I did not eat my whole 'half' of the tea stand, but somehow it was empty by the time we left. 

I should also say that all the staff, both in the small shop and the tearoom, were delightful; they could not have been more pleasant or helpful. It was a very lovely afternoon, despite the rain.
