| The week started with my fence getting painted at long last. It was very hot and I had to finish at 1.00pm to get ready for my first game of Bowls this season. I never got any more done to the fence this week as I bowled on Monday and Tuesday in glorious weather and then the weather changed dramatically for a few days. Our spring was the best ever with almost 3 months of dry sunny weather. It certainly helped our Lockdown to be more bearable. |
 |
| Due to Corvid-19 our Bowling season could only start this week so we have lost at least 6 weeks of play. The rules are that we can only play singles and only 3 rinks can be used at the same time. The clubrooms and toilets are closed and no spectators are allowed. It's better than not playing but I do miss the fun of Pairs and Triples. I managed to beat Tom fairly convincingly after a slow start. |
 |
| On Wednesday I headed down to Rowanburn for a 4 mile circuit of Rowanburnhead, Rowanburnfoot and the old railway line. This is the workers repairing all the power lines in our area. It is I believe a 2 year job. |

| On Friday I headed out to Winterhope for my morning walk and also to see (at a distance) our friends Jean and Wattie who have been isolated up this lonely valley for almost 3 months. The reservoir there is quite low but not near water rationing levels yet. |

| Wattie's vegetable garden looking immaculate as per usual. He loves his garden and together with his lovely hens seems to be very happy there. |
 |
| We had a grand blether and a coffee and cake |
 |
| My walk on Sunday was up to Potholm but this time I took the new route through the forest above the main track to Potholm on the Langfauld. |
 |
| On the new route you go along a narrow track through the forest |
