Had a busy week. Some of it spent working on Ken Loach's new film

Over at Jim's farm it's time to take a look at the Bees.
The day after marking the Queen with red paint and clipping her wings,
the hive needs to be checked to make sure that she hasn't been rejected.
All is fine and the Queen is busy.

Sunny weekend in the garden. Good to see everything bursting into life.

David Donaldson exhibition

The Lord Provost and the Donaldson family at the opening of the
David Donaldson exhibition at the Maclaurin Art Gallery, Rozelle Park,
Ayr. This is the first exhibition of DD's work since his death just over
ten years ago. This is a fabulous exhibition of some forty paintings and
runs for a month. Go and see it if you can. There are paintings here
that are in the family collection and rarely seen. Some I'd never seen before.
