Interior and exterior furnishings yet to be installed but eagerly awaiting our first visitors – hopefully not a rather large labrador!

Today the amelanchia came into flower and note the strip of blue, blue sea on the horizon.  Every day there’s something new to see in the garden.  However, the new wildlife pond has unfortunately ground to a halt as I wait for the liner to arrive.  All in good time.  Wishing everyone a Happy Easter.

When you’ve unexpectedly got a bit of spare time and decide to dig a wildlife pond, it’s tricky knowing when to stop!

It’s a shame no-one will see this year’s beautiful bonanza but I’m confident they’ll reappear in 2021.  Meantime, I’m loving them!  Stay safe everyone.

I have now come to the decision to close Troustrie with immediate effect until further notice.  I consider it my social responsibility to discourage visitors from coming into the area, putting additional strain on this small community, especially the health service, should anyone who doesn’t live here full time, become ill.  Troustrie WILL re-open and I look forward to seeing both new and repeat guests coming through the door once again.  In the meantime, do keep in touch and keep an eye on our website and here.  Keep well.  Lesleyx

I defy anyone not to love these beautiful little gems.

From Kennoway to Ceres, including three miles (see pic) along the medieval route, known as the Waterless Road .  Another fab walk.

A glorious sunny January walk with a strong hint of spring just around the corner.

What better way to spend a beautiful sunny winter’s day – along the 9 1/2 mile stretch from Ceres to St Andrews.
