Just to continue the gardening theme….
The good lady is a keen gardener and had always hankered to visit Gardening Scotland at Ingliston. This year we finally got it together to see the show.
There weren’t many show gardens but one of them was in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme:-

Another was on behalf of Erskine Hospital which cares for injured veterans of British wars. I only got round to this photo as the garden was being dismantled:-

On Saturday (9/11/13) I was once again at an antiques fair at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, Edinburgh.
One of the items for sale was this impressive object:-
A life size model of American Civil War Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. Yours for £600!
Also for sale was this extremely ancient piece of technology:-
What? Computers are antiques now?
Also some Soviet iconography:-
Two models of the USSR memorial to space exploration, a huge badge in the shape of a Soviet tank plus a tower of some sort.
