Catching up

This is a catch up post. In recent weeks a number of people in the community have participated in group activities, including . . .


Eassie and Nevay Kirk held a sponsored walk from Lumley Den, up to the masts where we stopped for a break . . .



but we were surprised - on the 1st June - to see this nwborn . . .

and on investigation found . . .

From there, we went on to Baludderon hill and across to Auchterhouse hill where we stopped again and then walked down to Denoon . . .


where we were met by drivers who chauffeured the group down to the Church for sandwiches and cold drinks.

Thanks to Mary and Isobel for photographs.

On a less energetic day out, some ENKCA folk who are also members of Forfar Garden Club visited Glendoick Gardens and admired the meconopsis - blue himalayan poppies . . .

the handkerchief tree - Davidia . . .


a host of stunning rhododendrons . . .


and a very unusual sundial . . .

at around 2.30pm, as you can see . . .


The wings of the seat act as the gnomon. In the morning, the sun in the East casts a shadow on the right 'face' from 7 am and until noon, when there is no shadow as the sun is shining straight on, and as the sun moves West, the afternoon shadow is cast on the left 'face'. You may be able to see the hour divisions better if you can zoom in on the picture or magnify the view some other way.

There has been another centre of activity, but that'll keep for another day.
