Old Farm Building

Wanderings with the dog yesterday took me around past whiteloch and back through Darroch Wood on another grand sunny day.  Nice new 'planter' been built at the Welcome to Blairgowrie sign, dog took a swim and I admired some tufted ducks. Wee camera I am using at the moment unfortunately does not zoom in far, which is disappointing as not long until the Ospreys return, but there you go. Love the old farm building with the weir running beside it.

Glenshee - Again!

It has been a wonderful spell of weather, blue sky and not too cold, so on Tuesday I went and spent the day on the slopes.  I was surprised how much snow was still around at Glenshee with every run complete and not icy at all, so I hope they keep the cover well into March.  After my ski I went and had a look at the big machinery shed as I particularly admire the machines used to 'groom' the slopes.  So using that classic chat up line 'I'm just admiring your machinery' I was offered a seat in one of them.  Pretty cool inside and all computerised, think I'll apply for a job driving one.

Wanderings with my camera

Cracker of a day so much so that I even ventured into the garden for a bit of a tidy up.  My daily dog walk took me over the fields up by Newton Castle and along up Kirk Wynd to have a look around the kirkyaird.  A large proportion of the headstones are in a bit of a mess now but nontheless fascinating to look at.  There is a lot of history in the Kirk Wynd corner of Blairgowrie and I have an excellent leaflet called 'Walk with the Ghosts' which tells you all about it, interestingly written by a near neighbour called Maurice Fleming
