Sowing

11.5C bright and sunny. Some cloud. Light WSW breeze.

I spent an hour or so out in the garage this morning gathering everything we have decided to take to Campbeltown into one corner, and packing things into a tea chest and wellies and plant pots into huge plant pots and trugs. There was one last trip to the recycle centre. I think thats the garage sorted and ready for the removal men. Two weeks today everything should be being moved into our new house (the things from the garage into an out building).

Maeve the Deerhound and I went for a walk after lunch. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss (Raising Sand) and Alison Krauss (Forget About It) on the Nano. We went up to the church then continued out along the country road to Scryne. Just before we turned right at Craigmill farm I noticed that potatoes were being planted in one of the fields across the road from the farmhouse. Two of the big planting machines were at work. on this small family run farm they would be contractors brought in with the big specialist machines.

We went down the track to the shore road. The farmer from Craigmill farm was going back and forth in the ploughed and harrowed field on the Easthaven side of the track in his red tractor. Looked like he was sowing today. We walked along the cycle path to Westhaven and carried on round in a loop heading into Carnoustie and up the main road before turning along for home. It was quite warm out of the wind.

Note: News on the lost guide dog puppy I mentioned on the 18th of March. As we were walking up the main road I stopped to talk to a lady working in her front garden with a lovely young Golden Retriever which clearly wanted to met Maeve. She had the puppy (8 months old) on a lead today ... in case it ran away again. Apparently she had been putting out the bin and the garden gate had blown open and the puppy must have got out.
