We had visits from both of Gabrielle’s brothers and their families in April, along with some good weather, so we were able to get outside and enjoy it.
A couple of the local wild goats at Clints of Dromore, near Gatehouse of Fleet.
Ellen, Gabrielle, Jerry and Cath on top of Mountain End at the end of the Clints of Dromore ridge. The outward route was along the top of the ridge then the path drops down to the right to return to the valley alongside the forestry plantations
Looking back along the ridge of the Clints from down near the visitor centre. We saw peregrine falcons setting up their nest on the cliffs.
We had some calm paddling weather so we took Betty out for a trip in a kayak. We need to rig up a better sitting platform for her.
Phillip and Harvey after a paddle round the bay.
Harvey and Betty surveying the view from the nearby Iron Age fort known as “the Borg” at Castle Haven Bay.
Jerry provided lots of assistance in the garden and one of the projects was to install a retaining wall alongside the path to the lower garden.
