Journey Home

It was a pleasure to welcome visitors for Easter Week. Among them, Anne Marie, getting close the monastery photographed a view of the meeting of winter snow, Easter spring and the pressing farming activity. ----- Forwarded Message ---- From: Anne Marie Sent: Tue, 6 April, 2010 22:47:13 Subject: Journey Home I could not resist taking some pictures on the way home of the ploughed fields. They have been ploughed to perfection as far as the eye can see, and so red. Truly beautiful. We had a good journey and I think the rain might have been coming your way. We enjoyed our visit as usual. Thanks. Locating the viewpoint later, it is precisely at T-junction on the road near Tanderlane. where the interesting photos were shot. They could earn a prize, and name the pictures, "Straight Furrow" In the view, seen on the patch of snow on the Skyline is the spot we call the Whale's Jaw. That used to be the ordinance marker at the point of the meeting of the lands of Whitecastle, Mayshiel and Snawdon. The Whale’s Jaw was very durable. The replacement concrete post may not last that long. Snow is still lingering in the gullies of the Lammermuir hills. It is Easter Week but farming goes ahead to set the potato crop in the drills caught in the camera. Thank you, Anne Marie, for your camera alert. Donald
