Still more colour in the countryside this week. Grasses are now in full bloom, especially a species with a purplish-maroon flower which seems to be everywhere. Plenty of Foxgloves scattered here and there (as usual, they were particularly common on Arthur's Seat when we were through at the weekend). Lovely patch of "Fox and Cubs" exactly at the point where the A8 becomes the M8, east of Langbank. Only one Poppy so far this year - a sorry-looking specimen in the central reservation of Greenock Road (beside the football pitches).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
