Wordless Wednesday…..another Favourite Place
Location:- Glen Muick on the Balmoral Estate, Aberdeenshire , Scottish Highlands.
A very favourite walk. Park at Spittal of Glenmuick. Then walk the circuit round Loch Muick. At times the path is high… at others it is loch side. With a back drop of mountains such as Cairn Bannoch and Lochnager, Loch Muick is like a gemstone nestling secure below the peaks. All peace and quiet.

Wordless Wednesday….. Another Favourite Place plus a Few Extra Words!
Location:- Chatsworth House and Gardens , Derbyshire
I guess like many of us I am a creature of habit. I have lots of “Favourite Places”, but some places just demand a more frequent visit. One such place is not that far away from us…. Its is Chatsworth House.
The above image was taken about 5 years ago in late March. Most years I try to time a visit to these gardens in March to coincide with the mass Daffodil displays. Sadly, this year I don’t think it is something that can happen. So next year maybe. I should also mention that the year this image was taken, 2015, was a year when spring was late in coming and those Daffodils had yet to reach there best….still a colourful breath of spring.
