Full moon over the Ochil hills - how magnificent

The full moon rising over the Ochil Hills tonight was truly magnificent particularly with the reflection in the River Forth. This is Stirling at its autumnal best. This section of the River Forth is just east of Fraser's (see http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com ).

Elderberry cordial

You may have noticed, if you live in the UK, that the elderberry trees have been laden with fruit this year; the one in our garden (see http:www.accommodationbedscotland.com) is no exception. We thought it was a shame to let the berries go to waste, so we've made some elderberry cordial. Yummee!

Autumn in Stirling

We're just staring to see the first signs of autumn, as this lovely tree opposite the house shows.

Amy's mirror

We had a teenage girl staying in Bedroom 2 (http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com/page2.htm) recently. She missed not having a full length mirror in the room, so we've put this one on the back of the cupboard door. Thanks for the suggestion Amy; others have also found it useful.
And who's that person taking the picture of it? Guess who!

The crab apple tree in autumn

Do you remember the little crab apple tree we planted earlier in the year (see our 16th May blog)? Well look at it now - isn't it magnificent with all its lovely little red apples. We really look forward to it growing big; we can maybe even make some crabapple jelly, or something.
