Or perhaps like sticky burr it had on and got stuck to someone who was carrying their kite , they in turn not noticing it flew said kite about a mile from your garden and thence it ended with you blown on the right wind.... it is a size 6? <br />greetings from Fife KY15 where I am longing for Witch Hazel, Juniper / Hazels / Bay / or any other lovely Quince tree to 'blow' into my garden.

I guess it will remain a mystery. Thanks for your recent visit to aberdeengardening, ashamed to say in all these years I have never visited Orkney. The weather in Aberdeen is probably a little kinder, but hey everything is relevant, you could have been in the Shetlands.Alistairhttp://www.aberdeengardening.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-90475798888171430552011-02-13T12:59:10.109+00:002011-02-13T12:59:10.109+00:00No Prince Charming?

It's a force 8 south easterly today - no prince charming to be seen and the other shoe hasn't turned up yet either - but the day is early and by the look of the forecast its going to stay a bit windy!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-47326710378341415632011-02-11T21:52:51.455+00:002011-02-11T21:52:51.455+00:00Edith - tomorrow at the crack of dawn I'll be ...Edith - tomorrow at the crack of dawn I'll be checking out there for Prince Charming - although he's due off the ferry on sunday............! Nice to see you on here and thank you for popping past!<br /><br />Mary (Fran) Poppins - how very kind of you to claim the shoe - I fear the garden made it mucky, you'd clearly not have such a dirty shoe. If you tripped over an Oak tree you must have been travelling a long way from here - Oak trees are things of dreams here! I'll gladly keep hold of it for you and maybe even pop it in the wash for you. Enjoy your next adventure!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-75096390943578795452011-02-11T21:00:55.300+00:002011-02-11T21:00:55.300+00:00Good evening, Mary here (Poppins that is). The wo...Good evening, Mary here (Poppins that is). The wonderful wind was just what I needed to move on to my next assignment. So I quickly changed out of my good shoes and popped on my trainers (very difficult to fly in heels and no one can see that far up), opened my umbrella and off I went. Well, how was I to know that the wind was going to blow quite so strongly, it wasn't forecasted, also I hadn't taken time to tie my laces properly in my haste. I was so busy maintaining my dignity hanging on to my skirts that when I tripped over the top of an oak tree, my trainer shot off and disappeared with the wind. I can assure you that it was not that dirty when it was about my person! Anyway thank you for finding it and when you next see the kites flying, I will be down to collect it.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-70028645710612335962011-02-11T20:59:28.757+00:002011-02-11T20:59:28.757+00:00Dear Bellis Perennis, Not quite a glass slipper is...Dear Bellis Perennis, Not quite a glass slipper is it.....but then quite possibly it would now be in a million pieces if it had been made of glass, and so much more difficult to deal with in the flower border. Rather than be interested in the owner of the shoe, I should be rather more intrigued as to whether a Prince Charming is anywhere near?!!!<br /><br />I am so pleased to have disovered your weblog and have made you a Favourite of mine on Blotanical as well as signing up as a Follower.
