Sunshine in Unexpected Places

We packed umbrellas. We packed boots. We packed jackets.

We have not needed them:
Stirling castle
Stirling Castle

Glasgow Stirling 020
The Wallace Monument (off in the distance), from Stirling Castle walls, under sunny skies.

We did see tapestries:
Unicorn2
Glasgow Stirling Unicorn1
These are two of the reproductions being woven at West Dean and at Stirling itself, although we did not see weaving: the recently finished tapestry was on display in the workshop (no photos allowed), and these 4 (2 here) were on display in the Queen's Chambers in the Castle itself.

Lots to see and do yet, and miles to go before I see this one again:

marin cuteness
My favorite bit of sunshine.
