Good Afternoon have been out sitting in the garden but have been driven in as 'Rain stopped reading and painting' this afternoon. I was reading Stuart was painting the newly opened poppies, however I have been meaning to do this entry for some time but have been having bother trying to put a scan into my journal this is my second attempt today so here goes.
About twenty years ago when we were still living in Glenrothes Fife a disused graven works was given back to the region as the company had finished working it. The regional council took it over and have created a nature reserve. The first one when they had just started planting trees etc
Birnie Loch 1990.
Today it is very mature with trees and shrubs and many wild flowers and is host to lots of birds insects and small mammals including Otter. It is a wonderful place to visit in the winter and you can walk round this loch and Gaddon the adjoining loch which is now in the process of becoming a mature loch as it is five years behind in the planting plan.
This is how the Loch now looks or at least it was a couple of years ago. Have searched all My Pictures and this is the best I can do but I will take one next week when we are there just to round things off. Sorry this entry has been a bit confusing but had alot of bother with the size of the old picture coming off the scanner but think I have it right now. Have a great evening Love,

Hello Joan,
This awful wet weather is getting beyond a joke. I think we`ve all had enough now and it`s time the sun came out for the rest of the summer! I would love to see otters in the wild though I don`t think there are any this far south. The loch looks a beautiful place to visit. :o)
Love Sandra xxxx
