Today was a long, filling-the-well day. We travelled to Glenesk and walked around 6 miles altogether in fairly hot weather that was forecast as cooler and a chance of rain. We did get some sprinkles of rain, and the clouds came in about, but it was still hot.
You may have picked up that I am happier in cool weather.
It was still a brilliant walk out to Loch Lee, passing a fabulous fortress castle, and an old kirkyard with some interesting carved gravestones, and the first view of Loch Lee.
We walked the length of the Loch, and came back the same path. Wildlife spots included frog and newt tadpoles, swallows and housemartins, something unknown making ripples in the Loch 👀, a pair of red kites, and damselflies.
We finished the day in the Glenesk Folk Museum, which I highly recommend, not least if you need to feel that being a collector is good, actually, because the museum only exists because one woman started collecting old things.
We were home early evening, so today’s painting happened after tea, but painting was done, the streak continues.
Til the morn,
Suzanne
