The recent fine weather has made me get out and about a little more than usual. One particular walk up at Greenhall in May had me stop in my tracks when looking straight up. Walking below large trees with leaves of beautiful colours and a contrasting blue sky was breath taking.

The photos never do this any justice, but I can tell you I stopped for a whole minute looking up at this taking in the wonder of nature and to enjoy the amazing green spaces we have still left surrounding Blantyre.
