Group day and out this evening

 When I was walking home after the film last night there was a light on in the church. Got better pics of the windows that I often get from inside!

The film was good, quite hard to watch at some points but also funny in others. But very informative and a pretty marvellous true story.

This morning I walked into Dunkeld and got to work on the bed that I am going to take charge of. 

I started at the back and didn’t really get very far, lots of roots and stones! I dug up some foxgloves and a couple of wild geraniums and replanted then in the area I dug today. This is going to be a work in progress for some time. We have discussed it and I m going to make it into a pollinator bed, rather that just wild flowers, although there will still be wild flowers, hopefully!

Darren gave me a lift into Dunkeld for the knit and natter group as I had walked both ways this morning and it was raining. I carried on with the never ending embroidery and was lucky enough to get a lift home today.

It has been a murky day as these two photos show.

Off to a different WI this evening, they have invited Birnam WI to a fundraising bingo evening. A lady is picking me up in a bit, as Tina is a lot better but still not well enough to be going out and about

Bit snap happy!

 This morning was taken up with usual household stuff but did cut some of the stripped reeds to go in with the canes in the bucket!

I went for a walk along the river path this afternoon in the opposite direction to Dunkeld. I was playing around with photos today, for my pleasure as much s nice ones to put on the blog. So feel free to skip through them I will put a boring one of a tree first, quite a few by the river and on the other side of the pth had wire frames round them, but they are mature trees so o wondered if there were maybe beavers in the area. Anyway, it just seemed odd.

Now for the rest!

I will be getting dinner soon and then off to the film society this evening to see ‘I swear’.

A pretty good day

This morning I wasn’t as achy as I thought I would be so had a walk into Dunkeld. I went along the river path which is getting a bit muddy in places now but not enough to make me go the road way. Not much colour on the trees yest but plenty on the ground.

This tree has no leaves left!

I did a bit of shopping in Dunkeld and had a drink before coming home. Took photos either side of the bridge.

Some canes arrived yesterday so I sorted out hacksaw, files nd clamp and cut a few indoors.

Then took everything outside and cut quite a lot more. I have filed them a bit and cleaned some holes, still ness to sandpaper them and cut quite a lot more!

Tina did go into church as a wedding was booked for today but she is still really not well so I got dinner early so I could settle down for Strictly. Over two hours, but a good show.

Will finish with a photo Darren took from the back door a few minutes ago.

Slow start, exhausting finish!

This morning was quiet, bit of jigsaw, went to the library to collect a couple of books for Tina. While I was there, I saw Moira who runs the garden group. I asked her if she would mind if I took responsibility for the wild flower area and she was delighted, so that is good. I put a few bits in the jigsaw and did a sketch of the church from a photo.

The canes I ordered have arrived and I have two small metal buckets, just need the reed screening to arrive and I can think bout starting the bee house.

This afternoon I decided to try and walk to The Hermitage which I haven’t done for a while. Obviously took some photos on the way and when I eventually got to the waterfall.

The donut kiosk was still open so I had hot chocolate and two donuts before walking home.

I really struggled walking home, think willpower got me here! I just took a couple of pictures on the way.

It was a relief to sit and get my feet up when I did get home, and I won’t be venturing far from it this evening. The hearing aid app says I did over 14,000 steps, I had better have a few shorter walks and build my stamina up again!
