Up-to-date from 5.7.08

So I was wrong. There is more to this work than I thought. Company has other three sites, where they are nursing azaleas and gentians except the heathers, and last two weeks they were taking us to the site on the other side of the loch, where we have been planting azaleas. Not that it would be such a big difference;-) Except planting the cuttings, as the shoots taken from maternal plants are called, we were also taking them from the maternal plants ourselves, another change:-) So I guess there is still gonna be few things we will be able to do...Otherwise not much happening, except of loads of rain...and me getting bit fitter, climbing the surrounding hills, along the pathways made by little sheep hoofs...Calming green wherever I can see...Very relaxed. Not spending much time at the loch though because of the midgies, those tiny but feisty buggers...So much smaller than mosqitoes, but so much more annoying...Like from some horror movie, swarming around in huge amounts...The only thing which can save you from going crazy from them is so called midgi net, which you put on your head and then don't see too much, cause it is green, kind of green fog around you...But nevermind...Today writing from Oban again, and to give you some idea I will try to put few pics to Picasa Web album again...
Yours Heather (and now Azalea too;-) Fairy
