Ski Racing, Twin Peaks Weekend 2016

Busy weekend down in the central belt last weekend.  Went down to Stirling on Friday evening so we could get an early start on Saturday for the Fir Park heat of the twin Peaks weekend.  Following the racing we upped sticks and headed down to Hillend for a practice for a couple of hours ready for Sundays racing.  Fantastic weather and some great photos and video.

Ramstone in Bloom June 3rd

Some of the azaleas now coming in to flower and still a strong showing of rhododendrons as the later ones come in to flower.  The azalea bank at the back of the house is starting to flower and should look at its best in hte coming week or so.

Ramstone In Bloom May 23rd

Some of the early rhododendrons starting to fade now but plenty later ones coming along to replace them. The big Loderi are looking particularly fine.

Hillend Training Day Sunday May 22nd

Took Ellie down to Hillend ski slope in Edinburgh for a training session with the club.  They all had a great day and Ellie's skiing has definitely come on as evidenced by the two videos.

A great year for the rhododendrons, a few more photos, sadly not as sunny at present but still looking fab.

Rhododendrons are getting better by the day, just couldn't resist a few more photos.

With the weather so beautiful the Rhododendrons are all coming out, it changes every night so here are a few more photos taken this evening!

Ramstone in Bloom, Tuesday Evening Walk.

A beautiful evening and for once all the warm sunny weather is in the north of the UK!!  Went for a walk along the River Don with Isobel and Ellie as Julie was away at a conference in Glasgow.

Ramstone Garden Coming into Bloom

The warm weather is at last encouraging the rhododendrons to flower after they have lain dormant for the last month or so!  A fair way to go yet but here are a few photos of the early ones.
