Such a pretty colour. Nice to see ๐๐๐
It's the best I have seen this year normally its in abundance and quite tall but this year it's very scarce due to being so dry sadly ๐ฅ
What a shame. Xx๐ฅฐ
That is absolutely magnificent ! ๐
Aww thankyou so much ๐
Iโm so jealous, earlier in the year I bought a pot of heather , Iโve always wanted it in the garden but never managed to keep it alive but guess what ๐โฆโฆ.. itโs already dead !๐. I always thought its so hardy it should grow anywhere but having read up I think the problem has been too much water so I shall buy another pot , I will not be defeated ๐ช๐
You go get that heather from your local garden centre and pop it down in your garden ...I'm with you all the way and will keep you strong ๐ช... you got this ๐๐๐
I will not give in ! One day I SHALL grow heather ! ( Iโm channeling Scarlet OโHara here ๐) When it is twelve months old I shall photograph it and display it on here with pride for all to see !!๐ช ๐
I think it needs ericaecious (spelling?) compost which is more acidic than ordinary soil and good drainage 
xx
Youโre right , I knew about the soil type but didnโt realise they donโt like too much water so the last one ( in a pot ) became waterlogged in a particularly wet spell earlier in the year . Previously Iโve planted them in the garden in heavy clay soil which they didnโt like either ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ I always imagined theyโd be easy to grow !๐

What a lovely colour so nice thank you for sharing have a good night and take care ๐ Bernadette and Jack ๐ xxxxxx ๐ป๐ป
Thankyou my lovlies ๐
A pretty good show Bb, as you say, having a drought has not helped the heather, but you got the sun shining through, thank you for sharing xxx
Thankyou it's been 29 here today and climbing slowly...We started walks at 6 this morning which was lovley ...
๐
Best time for both you and the dogs. We had 22 degrees here but a good breeze. I do feel for you, take care xxx
that is lovely . such colour when it glows like that .I went to Yorkshire moors one july and found the moor was glowing . We went back 2 days later with camera to find the glow had gone . heather was still there, sun was still there but it lost the wonderful glow. Never seen it like that since either. Just lucky that day travelling fro m Pickering to Whitby to visit my parents .
It's been pretty poor this year with no rain the forest looks baldy this year compared to others Thanks for sharing a lovley memory of yours ๐
That really looks to be thriving in spite of the low water levels, quite lush.
Best I have seen this year ๐
Such a lovely colour ๐
Very much agree its lovley too see it so nice ๐
Just beautiful to see nice picture Blackbird pretty colour ๐ฅฐ
Thanks โค๏ธ
I can smell it from here! Wow!
Thumbs up then RR ๐
How gorgeous is that.Bless you for sharing you have made my day x
Ahhh thankyou ๐
I can remember being surrounded by blooming heather on a hill above Dundee. The scent was heavenly.
Love the scent of heather after the rain on a warm morning...Scottish heather smells different to here it's fresher because of the heavy rains ๐ง
What a beautiful sight ๐๐๐
It's the best I have seen this year ๐
That looks stunning! xxx ๐๐๐
Thankyou lovley ๐
Thatโs gorgeous and it looks like itโs thriving. The heather in our garden is beginning to wither xx
There's a lot of it not so good this year due to the heat ๐
Beautiful colour. Thank you โค๏ธ
Thank-you Mooka hope you're well ๐
Iโm well thanks. I hope you and Stan are too. Loving your pictures ๐
We are very well thankyou ...Stanley's just been clipped so a bit better in the heat with shorter coat ...
We are walking from 6 ish at the moment to beat the heat and afternoon siestas for us ๐
This weather is too hot for dodgy lungs and dogs. Molly goes out early morning and evenings. We have a lot of blue green algae around here too so not much swimming at the moment either.
I'm fine walking in the early morning finishing walking around 11 then on to visits for those that are home alone .. they have garden time if cool and shady... stay safe ๐
Thatโs so nice of you to visit those home alone. Thank you you stay safe too x
"Will ye go lassie go"๐ถ what a beautiful site and must smell heavenly x
It's got a rather fresh scent this year like a white linen smell ๐๐
I would have to make some little pillow bags for the bed and make the most of this x
Its the last full supermoon of the year on Thursday BB, I envy you living in such a beautiful spot where you can see this so clearly, hope your camera is prepped and ready x
Gorgeous! Saw pictures of lavender fields in France that should have looked similar, sadly just rows and rows of dead plants, so sad. Thanks for sharing xx
It's so dry this year sadly ๐ฅ
I agree with everyone - such a beautiful colour ๐ and a very good photograph BB ๐
Stratos thanks so much ๐
I totally adore that song infact I go as far as saying I love it, it is my favourite song of all time. It reminds me of my childhood growing up in Scotland and it always makes me cry. Funny isn't it because it is my favourite song.
Awww lots of memories spring to mind for you ..I hope it's good tears your shedding ...๐
I was born and raised in Scotland moved south in 1987 ...
The song itself reminds me of get togethers in my mum and dad's home of a weekend when you would go round the room with a sing song ...
Coming from a family of 13 children we used to sing quite a bit a few of played instruments ๐๐
We used to sing mostly on special days like new years eve. My grandparents used to come down and we would each take a turn at singing. My step grandmother used to sing one of Ella Fitzgerald's songs my grandfather used to sing Jerusalem, my stepmother and her mother would sing any song that had room to have a harmonizers and my stepmother would sing the main song and my step grandmother would harmonize, my dad did not sing, my sister used to sing Mollie Malone with her cockles and mussels and I used to sing all around the blooming heather (I can't remember the proper name). It used to make me cry because I had sad memories as I moved to London when I was 17 years on my own. Now it makes me a wee bit sad. So there is my reason I know that song.
Bitter sweet ๐
Yes that is correct. How are you now?
