Dunkeld and more box emptying!

 This morning I did open a box and had the contents on the bed. I looked out and it had stopped raining so I decided to walk into Dunkeld. Took a couple of photos while on the bridge, one of the river and one of the town. Not actually sure if it is a small town or large village!

I  walked right to the end of the shops as a man had told me that the path to the Loch of the Lowes started opposite the Royal Dunkeld hotel. There was a wall on the opposite side and there were a couple of gaps with very dangerous looking steps going up! I asked a passing man who was local if the path started there and he looked blank then said I probably could go that was but it was very steep, so he suggested walking down to the first turning on the left and it isn’t so steep. I called in at the bakers on the way down to get something for lunch and then took the next left. There was a lady outside her shop and she said that I had to follow the road round, mostly with pavement, then it became unmade and the a track! May look another

day! I did take another view of the town.

I had been looking for the jewellers to try and get the loose stone removed from my watch as it keeps jamming the hands. But I went down to have a drink before looking for the jewellers again. Then I walked up the road again as I was sure there was a jewellery shop. It was quite a way up and the entrance was like a private house. It is a bespoke place that makes individual pieces, they do not fix watches!

Took another photo as I went back over the bridge as it was looking quite moody with rain on the way.

Back home I got on with box opening. The carpenter arrived to put the old shed on its new base and to fix a couple of the doors that don’t shut properly. I had a chat with him and he has agreed to build me a stand for the bonsai trees. I just need to take some measurements and a design. I found a picture of my previous stand, made by Mike and Brian many years ago. Tina has his number so I can contact him. Soon after he had gone Darren arrived, lovely to see him. We were moving umpteen boxes into the old shed, the ones that had been emptied and broken down, Darren helped us finish that job. I carried on with boxes and I now only have one left to open and that has books in. I haven’t got room for them but Tina thinks she will have space on one of hers.so that one will stay as it is for now. I have chaos, but now I know what I have to fit in and will get rid of more things if necessary.                                                                                     

                     

Sorry about the uneven edges on the writing, every now and then the computer decides I want it centralised!
