Saturday sauntering

Today we went to Buittle Castle for my 60th birthday present, yes from last year lol.  Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon learning about the history of the castle and how the cousins (both priests in the Western Orthodox Church) are restoring and improving the Castle to turn it into both a tourist attraction with B & B and a religious community.  The tour included an afternoon tea served in the library, very posh indeed.  

Before the tour we had a walk round Rounall Woods at Dalbeattie, good paths with some slight inclines it took roughly 45 minutes at a gentle pace, the dogs enjoyed themselves.  Good to know this little wood is there for future short  quiet walks.

On the way home we stopped off at Dalswinton so the dogs could have stretch of legs and a bit of running about and having fun.  I stepped on a sluttery tree root and fell onto my knee, yes my sore knee,  Nipped for a while but seems not to have suffered too much

Walking tomorrow at the castle.  Let's see what else I can fit in.
