My journey stone reflects all that I love about my garden here in Inverness: dry-stane dykes in various states of disrepair; trees which could be rowan or apple; flowers to represent all the variety that finds a home here - poppies or daisies, heather or lavender, foxgloves or lupins; the sun setting over the Beauly Firth; and last but not least the bees as a reminder of my bee-keeping father.
