Forfar loch

You won't believe it, but we had yet another weather-perfect day for our walk!  We had fairly loose arrangements around the travelling, yet they all worked out very well indeed.

This is another circular walk, but deffo on level ground, and just under the three miles.

We stopped to take pictures of some of the flowers,

and, even found a sign for us that said 'Forfar Witches'!  Hmm, someone suggested this might refer to us - cheek!

One of us was going away the next day and needed to get organised, so they sped off into the distance.  The laggers wandered behind and caught them sitting on a bench, overlooking the lovely, water - it looked so inviting ...  until we saw the green stuff floating about on it, that is!

Have you ever seen so many swans?

After the walk we decided that as we are so near to Letham Crafts we ought to make the short drive over there.  Also, as it was lunchtime, a call into Trumptington Forge Tea Room to eat. We do love it here, the service is polite, swift and friendly, and the food is gorgeous - especially the home baking!  They also have a mini farm there, with ducks, geese, horses and this handsome chap - who seemed to make such a racket whenever Jean D was nearby!

Then some of us made the drive over to the craft shop, and didn't spend too much money ..... but, we all said we will be back!

** NEXT WEEK**

We thought we might re-visit the Knockie and Cargill's Leap at Blairgowrie - it rained so much last time that we didn't go to the top and, if the weather holds out, we should be able to.

One suggestion has been that we start at the car park and walk up through the town, then after viewing the Knockie, we return this way - it's shorter for those with 'knees' and 'backs'!

Meet at the shop at 9.30 am, and the 'glenners' will make their own way 

Please let Jeanette or Jean D know if you're coming from Kirkmichael,

and Karen know if you're in the Glen
