Large tracts of the park and estate have been cleared of rhododendron ponticum. Forestry and Land Scotland are actively removing the invasive non native species. Personally I like their blooms, even though I understand the bio diversity drawback. Some odd wee areas are regrowing and look nice.

Today saw a key phase of Scotland’s Covid19 Transition Plan quietly came into effect. Public Health Scotland have redefined symptoms and isolation advice, and Test and Protect ceases to exist by and large. General public health advice has been published too; covid19 isn’t over, we’ve moved into a different phase of the pandemic.

Family are well.
