Try again

 To town again and out to Culzean on the bus for the trial commute. 

I think it will work quite well. It is only 15 minutes walk from the bus stop to the courtyard where the gallery is situated, so even on a rainy day, survivable with a coat!

Stocktake done and a nice chat with today's duty artist..and after a much needed cuppa, a browse around the secondhand bookshop was called for!! 

A phone call to friends...their call had gone straight to answerphone...the signal there is not always constant! Then a short wander with future prints in mind...I took a few arch photos..

Then back up the drive

To wait for the bus back to town

Above the bus shelter....good to see that there is a shelter for the stops both sides..as the bus was 15 minutes late!

Which gave me time in town... which I didn't need...but arriving home the "meadow" was looking lovely 

I don't think that the white form of this orchid is usual?

An afternoon nap on the sofa was definitely needed after all that!!

Which recharged the "batteries" enough to finish making the gooseberry jelly after the extract had been dripping into a bowl since last night!  I sliced a good chunk of fresh ginger root and added that ...I think that it has added a nice touch to the taste...the slices came out before the jelly was potted.
