Pollen

Looked at the weather forecast - eek - and decided to make the most of this morning. A good walk with a bit of slightly strenuous uphill round the castle and its environs. This willow was bursting with pollen on Gowan Hill. An extra of some waiting to happen. This afternoon the rain has arrived and has set in with determination. I'm slightly at a loose end so have resorted to washing the kitchen floor and other such activities. On a more positive note have sorted a couple of breaks away in the summer. Good to have them planned.
