Hello, hello, hello!

I am a bit late in posting up about our walk last Friday - not for anything exciting, I'm afraid, but just because life got a tad busy.  But, here we are on a lovely balmy Monday morning, a respite from all the rain we have had since we got a soaking, last Friday.

Yes, we had a smashing walk around Faskally loch, at Pitlochry. * We started off from the Pitlochry Festival Theatre car park, where we met a new friend, David.  He initially asked us directions for over the hill, crossing the A9, but later joined us on our walk. And, what lovely, interesting company he was!

This was just over three miles of a fairly easy walk, though there were many more steps than we were expecting, with added mud from the rain (did I mention that already?)  Luckily, there was a bench in one place and a lovely tea stop half-way around, at the cafe, where the promised hungry ducks were in evidence and enjoying the very drippy wet rain!  We had a giggle at the table, with conversation ranging from 'knickers' (US speak for short pants ie trousers) philosophy, theology and ending on the guilt from what a person would like to sin at!

However, we continued back to the theatre and quickly made a decision for next Friday's walk at the Falls of Bruar  We will meet, as usual, at the shop at 10.00 am  UPDATE:: It will now be 9.30 am as there is a coffee morning at the Kirkmichael shop 10 - 12 noon, in aid of the MS Society.  We are asked to bring a cake and partake of a coffee before setting off on our walk - see you there!

*  I am awaiting the one photo we took, but I gave out a wrong address for my email - doh!  When I have that I shall post it up here.
