The Ruchil

It's a year and a half since we were flooded out of our house. I was walking the river today and came across some members of the Perth and Kinross Council being filmed right by the defences that went up no doubt doing a touch of self congratulations on how well the banking has worked sadly they hadn't listened to the locals saying it was going to happen years ago.

On a more happy note which should maybe have been first. At this point on the river, Sand Martins return every year. Today I counted the first pair of the year. Amazing that such little birds return each year to exactly the same place.
