Meet Ant and Dec although I have no idea who is who. That's okay, I have the same problems with their human namesakes. I could pretend we went to Pentland Plants for a specific purpose but the truth is that I wanted to go and say hello to the donkeys. They are always there the week before Christmas and come from the Borders Donkey Sanctuary near Melrose where by chance I was a few weeks ago visiting a friend.
Ant and Dec were very happily munching away only occasionally glancing up to provide a photo opportunity.
On the way home I spotted another vapour trail (definitely developing an obsession) which seemed to go straight up. Of course that was an optical illusion but together with the very pale sun behind the clouds it provided an interesting picture.
It's a strange day without the Blipfoto site. It is down to be moved to new servers and hopefully by 8pm tonight it will be back bigger and better. Fingers crossed though! Such technical stuff has a huge potential to go wrong so we will have to wait and see. I will blip one of these three pictures although I haven't decided which one yet.

Meet Freda
That's Freda, the donkey who together with her companion Felix is raising money for the Scottish Borders Donkey Sanctuary in Pentland Plants. She was a real sweetie although she never lifted her head properly for a portrait.
As soon as I spotted the donkeys I was lost and although some shopping was done in the garden centre (amaryllis and hyacinth bulbs) I spend most of my time stroking Freda and Felix! Not to mention trying to photograph them without catching the fence in the process.

This was the close-up I loved most. Just look at those gorgeous lashes! Frieda (with an i) would have loved to have some like these!
The garden centre was full to the brim with poinsettia in all shades of red and pink. I didn't buy any as these plants are never destined to live a long life in our cold house but I grabbed a picture!
