| Niall has returned to Langholm after his 3 month spell in Australia to join us for the first time since Christmas. He is fresh from completing a 3 day trek on the famous Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia and was keen to do Scotland's most famous trek namely the Potholm Trail. As we were advised by the weather man it was going to be a wet afternoon we opted for a short 5 mile walk today and this also enabled us to attend the retirement party at the Buccleuch Centre for Hilary Jack, who retires today. |

| The Bluebells are much earlier this year and in about a week these ones will be spectacular. |
 |
| These also are looking good and will soon be in full display probably 3 weeks ahead of schedule |

| On return to Langholm we took a walk round the old school playing field where they are completing the task of making it an all weather surface. We met a local gentleman connected with Langholm Rugby Club and he was commenting on how he thinks it is a waste of money and will never be used, almost with a hint of pleasure in his voice. I wish locals would be more positive and look on the bright side of things instead of being so negative. It is a great asset for the community and with correct management and planning should be used as much as possible. |

It is very like the comments on the new path on the Castleholm which was said at the time to be a great waste of money but which has turned out to be one of the most popular walks in town.
I am pleased to say the new walk was my idea for inclusion in the Tye Pennington project.
