Walk and shopping

 I did some general chores and washing before going for a walk into Dunkeld. I decided to go long the river path today, I haven’t for a couple of weeks, and luckily it wasn’t too muddy so I am glad I took that route. Took some photos while I was out, some nice mist hanging about again today.

After lunch Tina and I went food shopping but called in at the garden  centre on the way. We did get some reduced plants, maybe photos tomorrow as it was raining and almost dark by the time we got home. I also got a turkey soft toy, that photo tomorrow too!

Strictly was good, may look at the jigsaw for a while now!

Highland Wildlife Park

 We set off to Aviemore this morning to go to the wildlife park.A pretty journey and mist hanging in the hills. A lot of photos so I think I will let them do the talking.

We did go to se the polar bears fed, but the keeper called them to let them know there food had arrived but they were either not hungry or just now wanting to be seen! She gave an interesting talk though.

We did t get to see the camels either or the snow leopard but the arctic fox was adorable. We will be going again in the future.

Disappointing morning and gardening

 Tina has been holding some sessions this week around loss and grief and today it was at The Dutchess Anne. I went along to take care of the refreshments. Tina was joined by a celebrant and a funeral director,but sadly no one attended the session which was very disappointing for Tina who has done a lot of preparation and advertising. We had driven there but the room was very cold and I decided to walk home to warm up, although it wa a chilly day.

After lunch I decided to go out into the garden. To prepare the bed ner the new fence and reduce the number of plants that I have in pots. The bed doesn’t look too bad but it was very impacted and had had large tiles on top of it, and of course plenty of roots and stones.

I didn’t of course mention the amounted of impacted bulbs!

And I was very pleased that I spotted this knife before I started pulling roots out!

So, and area about as ready as it is going to be!

I had to cut this roots s try as I might I could not find where they led!

Got some of the plants in, so not a bad afternoons work. I was out there about two and a half hours.

This evening I had another try at using the pastels. Could have done with a darker green but I enjoyed trying something different.

Just relaxing now.
