This photograph is the inspiration behind my current embroidery.  It was taken last year when the Highlands enjoyed one of the rare hot summers.    Today it is 21C here again.  I don’t think I’ve ever know two good summers in a row.    My garden is again looking beautiful with geraniums,  an escallonia, sweet Williams, nasturtiums, Michaelmas daisies, a peachy climbing rose, a white climbing rose and all framed by the wisteria which has gone a bit mad.
