We awoke to yet another wet morning. This time we decided to spend some time washing, “blogging” and general tidy up.
Alan and Noeline braved the weather in the 12/60 (with hood up) although they planned to stay close to "home". At around 2pm we decided to follow the first part of the suggested route and visited the Cluny House Gardens.
This is a delightful untamed garden with some very unusual trees, including two giant Sequoias and a champion Wellingtonia with a girth of 11 meters at the base and a variety of other mature exotics.

| A few people decided today was just too wet to venture out....so we waited! Cars lined up at Moness. |

| Promises...promises - we haven't seen one yet! |
 |
| Heading for Cluny Gardens - the architecture in the area is wonderful |

| Cluny House |
 |
| Walking around the pathway - flowers and plants of all descriptions.... |
 |
| The texture and foliage is amazing. |
 |
| Wonderful mature trees from across the globe - Maples. |
 |
| Massive Sequoia |
 |
| Robin in the garden - small birds all about. |
Our walk through the gardens was rain free (yay!) although still gloomy and quite drippy. We then decided on a had a quick trip into Pitlockry to look at the shops before returning to Moness via Aberfeldy. We (ie Dale) did have some excitement when the slip road off the A9 (at 50mph) suddenly did an abrupt left turn with no warning (we proved the Speed 20 does have brakes as needed) although we aged a little in the process.
 |
| On the road again.....and how lovely they are! |
 |
| Even the gulls are fed up with the rain. |

We had been directed to be back by 5.30 pm for a collective photo. We arrived back and marshalled into the rear carpark. The photo, we discovered, was to be an overhead shot - via drone.
 |
| Shepherding Alvi - a bit like herding sheep really! |
 |
| Peter directing Alvi. |
 |
| Finally they are together - smile...... |
Just a quick note - missed out on lamb again tonight.....I believe it may be a "furphy" although we have seen nothing but sheep and lamb running about in the fields!.
