It is Sunday so we did the Orcadian thing after lunch and went for "a run". We even bought a lolly at a "Dairy" which is the equivalent of a village shop/corner store. We even had a walk between downpours. There has been a demption of rain over the weekend and you could easily grow rice on our lawn today. The students were out after a bonfire last night having mud fights and even sliding through the mud on a boogie board - The Hagan's would have been in heaven! 
So today the blossoms are amazingly still on the trees and the lilies are still growing by the river which is at least 2 foot closer this morning. They neither toil nor spin but even Solomon wasn't as well dressed as these beauties!
We also visited a Historic house nearby where we found out that this area gets its name from John Gordon from Aberdeenshire who developed most of this reclaimed land and had 3 wives in succession - here's to the Gordons!
