Local Thoughts


These are the BEAUTIFUL flowers that Mike had arranged for me when I first arrived in Ayr. He bought each type of flower separately and actually did the arrangement himself. Aren't they fantastic?? What a guy.
This is the starter for the meal I cooked last night. It is tomato marscapone soup, roasted tomato salad in a light balsamic vinaigrette, and marinated, roasted goats cheese with garlic ciabatta (GF!! Go tesco!).
This is my favorite farm stand, Dowhill farm. It's pronounced DOO or DOW by different people, depends who you ask. It's fresh locally grown produce and feel I MUST be related.

This is a cafe, but I though you would enjoy it, Tajimas! For anyone that doesn't know, the Tajima cottage in Maine is called Chatterbox!
This is the view from my picnic lunch the other day. I walked about a mile down the beach and stopped to enjoy the fantastic scenery.
This is the swan baby that lives on the river. The mom, dad, and baby swim up and down the river every day and I love them! The baby is starting to lose the gray feathers and today when I saw it, it's about half mottled-white!
So those are a few favorite things. I just wanted to share! We're off to Italy this weekend, we'll update you when we get back!
