Close The Gate!

A sunny day! A chance for a walk and the opportunity to see how the gardens and trees at Hill of Tarvit survived the recent gales.

Very well is the answer. We only spotted one tree which had blown down on the drive. I am sure there might be others.

Today’s Blipfoto caused me some mirth. I do wonder what has happened to the fence or wall on either side.

Several dogs were taking their owners out for fresh air and we met one very strong retriever carry a branch about 3 metres long in his mouth. The branch was very slim, but there was no way he was leaving his trophy behind.

The extra shows the blue sky and the sundial of the Mansionhouse working well.

We received news that Mr Dog had suffered a heart attack after Christmas and had been taken into hospital by Mrs Dog where he was equipped with a stent.

Our remarkable NHS is functioning. Prognosis is good.

In the evening we watched Call The Midwife. The very high standard is maintained. Well worth watching.

Mr Dog’s recovery is likely mean that our 3 Kings Day Celebrations are likely to take on January 22! We will keep our Christmas Decorations up until then.
