Another wonderful week with fabulous blue skies and sunshine. Recommend walk along Glen Taitneach to Loch nan Eun. Also the homemade cake and shortbread at the Glenshee Pottery! We just love the cottage and found it very clean and welcoming with the fire ready laid. Easter Day service at the church was our highlight with a very warm welcome and came away with bunches of daffodils and special memories. We'll be back (again).
