A NATION'S WEALTH IS IN ITS SOIL

A couple of weeks ago we spent some time in the East Lothian (east of Edinburgh) during a beautiful spell of weather.


The architecture reflected this rich and bountiful part of the country. We stayed in a fine place which was associated with an old manse.  East Lothian clearly has been ... and I would guess, still is ... very wealthy.



An extensive  garden both for leisure and eating.  Rosy red apples in the late afternoon light.


Reminded me of Sissinghurst but with ... dogs, ducks, geese ...and apples along with peas from the garden for picking.

Tasteful decor throughout
