Hillwalking around Dumglow on Sunday

On the Saturday we had a

wonderful walk at Lundie Crags and wanted to continue walking on Sunday but heavy rain where we live.

 

So checked met office and found weather better in Fife which it was so here I shall share photos of our walk.

 

This is start of our walk around the loch

An update on my Heucheras – June 2012

Well here we are nearly to the longest day and it is still wet and there is a chill in the air.

It has been some time since I last shared my Heucheras, so sit back and enjoy.

With all this rain I think the Heucheras have enjoyed it and they are starting to glow.

A day in the Misty Scottish Hills

Yesterday we enjoyed a nice hill walk near Braemar(http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/morrone.shtml). Other than the mist, the view would have been wonderful.

 

I will go back to walk here on a warm sunny blue sky day.
