Linlithgow

The Palace, Loch (only a sliver) and St Michael's Church in the hot June sunshine. A walk with our Edinburgh-based friends S&J, previously postponed because of wet weather, was rescheduled for today. It was almost too hot to walk at times, especially along the unshaded canal. Walking at the loch was much more pleasant. Had lunch then went our respective ways. As always so good to see them.

Community Council last night was successful. We now have a summer break and restart in August. Plenty to do in between meetings to develop some ideas for our small community. And keep an eye on the planning applications!

Really hot today. If we'd not had a deluge on Monday night I'd be planning to water this evening but we did so I'm planning to sit in the garden and enjoy it.
