AUGUST 2024
Second week in August - isn't it supposed to be summer time? Such a disappointing year for weather. At least we have lovely scenery around us to enoy. Here are some taken on 8 August at the dam. I hope you enjoy them. There are four photos here so remember to click to see the others!
JULY 2024
Later on this month (25 July) I decided to take some photos of the beautiful hanging baskets in the Main Street and Market Street. These have been installed by the Community Council and looked after by volunteers. I think you will agree that these cheer up the town quite a bit. The Peace Garden in the church grounds is also looking really lovely and a big thank you to the team from the Mission Group for looking after this area so well. (As usual, click on the first photograph to see the others.) Enjoy

In the Peace Garden
July - more than half way through the year already! The above photos were taken at the canal with lovely geraniums on the pathway and a family of swans. The others are from Nethercroy showing views of the scensory garden followed by a couple of views up to the hills with the Academy in one and Tamtain in the second. 8 July 2024
JUNE 2024
June - isn't it supposed to be summertime now? Rain, high winds, cold - well that's Scotland, and there's nothing we can do about it. Today (Saturday 8 June) I went for a walk down the Coach Road, along the path leading to the quarry then a short stretch of the canal. Lots of activity as families are about, especially at the new Roman play area; good to see it so popular. Here are some photographs from my walk. The second photo is an area the Council has planted as a wildflower area with a mixture of daisies, etc. Violet
MAY 2024
Firstly, I would like to apologise for no article last month. Two reasons: the bad weather and the fact that I had a knee operation earlier this year so having difficulty getting out and about. Here we are in May already and, although while typing this, it's only the first day, I sincerely hope we get some better more spring like weather for a good while. Anyway, as usual, the Burngreen is looking particularly beautiful so here are some photographs of the lovely blossom trees as well as one of the rhodendron bushes. We should be really proud of how well the Burngreen is being looked after. I hope you like these photographs. I don't need to remind you to "click" on each photo to see properly!

Here are some more photographs also taken in May. The bluebells and wild garlic are stunning up on the Lade Path. The trees are such a lovely fresh spring green. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
MARCH 2024
March - one foot in winter, the other in spring! Time is marching on, before we know it we will be celebrating Easter. Here are some photographs taken around the Colzium on Monday 12 March. There are still some snowdrops and the daffodils are beginning to appear. Click on each photo to see in full.
