Summer

It's been a busy summer for us, with a lot of bare-legged skirt wearing. Here are a few photos.

Springtime in Edinburgh Botanic Gardens.

A view of Stoneypath Castle in the background after a short country walk from Garvald, East Lothian, Scotland.

A visit to Abbotsford, in the Sciottish Borders, the former home of Sir Walter Scott. We used the new Borders Railway followed by a riverside walk to get there.

In the "Oriental Garden" in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland.

On a short visit to Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England.

Bare legs at last.

For the first time in ages I'm out with bare legs. The denim skirt felt so good - hardly noticing any contact of the fabric on my legs at all - almost as if I was wearing nothing below my waist.

I am wearing the denim skirt with walking boots partly because I was on a country walk at the time I took the photos, but also because I generally wear walking boots and socks with a denim skirt - I  think it looks best.

When wearing a plain black skirt, I prefer to wear black shoes, such as these lightweight canvas ones.

Both these skirts are by Tu, from Sainsbury's (UK).

Last summer...

I haven't updated my blog in a while.  I'm still wearing skirts most of the time, although the choice is a bit limited just now because of the weather here - close to zero degrees Celsius, wind and rain.  But here are a few photos from warmer times last summer.
