Left Hamilton 10am. Sun shining and heading for Forfar. Stopped at Glendoick so Shirley could leap about like a shorn lamb with her new haircut. Fatmrg had to do a 37 point turn to get out of the car park and we were so freaked out that we left the step behind. Sigh. Arrived at Forfar Lochside CAMC or rather arrived up a tiny street following satnav and had to repeat the Glendoick exit performance much to our chagrin.
Site is lovely. Sun still shining. Ravenously fell on our ham pieces and went exploring.
Forfar is a douce wee ferm town that still has a bustle about it . Butchers, bakers, fishmongers, drapers and ironmongers still exist here.
Lots to see. Great walks round the Loch and round the town. Hedgerows full of birds and the Forsythia is felt pen yellow. Just too early for the Hawthorn, but spring is definitely in full bloom.The Meffan museum with Pictish stones and local history.The Botanists garden. Quirky wee squares and vennels. Restenneth Priory and Glamis Castle will have to wait till next time .
All this and Forfar Bridies ? A great start. Off to the Broch tomorrow to visit my 94 year old mum.

Best free site ever...outside my mam's front door ! Uneventful drive from Forfar to the Broch, with only some mild anxiety about a rattle in the sunroof. Soon fixed with the aid of 2 paper hankies. Took Shirley for some arctic blast down the beach. Nobody about so let her off the lead and hoped some unexpected dug would not leap out of the dunes and try and pump her. How long she is going to remain in heat remains to be seen. Anyway, day spent gardening and cleaning for my wee mam while Ian is gadgeted up with planet football. Tomorrow we are off to Lossiemouth and I'm taking my dookers!
