AS stated last time we have accepted an offer for our house and we have had our offer accepted on a bungalow in East Ayrshire, so the move is likely to be within the next six to eight weeks and is all in the hands of everyone’s solicitors. That means my ever efficient wifee has got me working hard and packing is well under way. It does surprise me just how much we (mainly me) have accumulated over the past twenty years of living here.
The removal firm have been chosen , but we do not have a set date for us all to move, but the headache of living so remote and up a small narrow, steep road is that the removal lorry cannot get up here so a smaller van has to transfer all our “stuff” down to the village and load it into the lorry taking much longer to load up. this then means a two day removal, adding to our expenses.
I would say about a sixth of our/my rubbish has gone to the tip and my poor car knows the way to refuse centre without me having to do anything, as soon as it sees the back seats folded down and a load of junk is in it , you can hear it sigh and knows where it is off too.
All this work means that I haven’t had time for much photography so sorry for this.
24th.
Sleep is hard to come by when you have a lot on your mind, today I woke up to a near perfect dawn so by five o’clock I was up and out with the camera for a walk up the hill. and gathered these shots in absolute peace and quiet. Wonderful and a relaxing way to start the day.
Found this Hare hiding in a field a long way off and as I approached it was up and away, but I didn’t see its mate alongside it and two ran off with me not capturing the other one.
The castle nestled down in the early morning mist.

The herd of cows were surprised to see someone about this early and were very curious, except the bull in the last shot he just kept going around the girls chatting them all up.
Had to take some shots of wildflowers on the way home, finishing up with the national flower of Scotland the Thistle.
As I walked in our gate the sun was shining on the garden and couldn’t resist taking these two amazing Clematis in full bloom.
To finish off this months blog I just to include the sign we have been waiting to go up.
Trying to get all parties to agree a moving date of the 26th August is hard going , but hopefully it will be okay.
