This afternoon I had the pleasure of taking a group from the Wigtown Book Festival down to the Crook on a walk. They had attended Mathew Curry's talk about his poetry and how Galloway had inspired him.
We came across a nice party of 5 Ruff in the saltmarsh pools feeding as we walked down Skylark Walk always a delight to see them and five is my personal best and as far as I know the Crooks.
Tomorrow I have another guided walk so I do hope they are there again and with the tide a few more I hope.
Thanks to the visitor to the Book Festival that introduced themselves in the county buildings it is always nice to put a face to a name. Not that I remember the name and come to it the face except to say I think I know that person. So I must apologise should I look blank next time we meet. The Wife tells me it is a man thing I think it is my age.

Thanks for that Brian, My hope is that within the next couple of years things will really mature.
But one of my main aims after the complaints we have had this past week is for this winter to get the council to do something with the road. I have heard today that a resident from Wigtown is very unhappy and has rung the council. I wish them luck I have tried on several occasions to engage with the council highways department about the road that leads down to our entrance but to no avail.
