Alder Trees with a mantle of ivy, by the River Tyne in Samuelston. The Alder is a favourite haunt of the #Siskin which takes its French name (Tarin des Aulnes) from the tree. #thicktrunktuesday

I took part in the church recording project at Whitekirk Church last Friday. When we were encouraged to take ten minutes to contemplate and draw a feature of the church I chose the font and the window behind it which both feature the descending dove motif.

Well I'm not the romantic type, I'm too old for anything fancy, but when it comes to wedding venues, I got you covered: Eskmills in Musselburgh. My wife and I got married there. It was the first venue we checked out and it just ticked all the boxes for us...

Dirleton Church in East Lothian was built in 1612 to replace the church in Gullane which was thought to be too exposed to sand blowing up from the beach. The pinnacles were added to the tower in 1836. #steeplesaturday
