A busy Week

Please think of those families affected by the latest casualty to the 'Economic Crunch'. Hunter & Clark, the Contractors who looked after us so well during our, nigh on, 2 year repair project, went into administration late last week. 168 jobs have been lost, and over the course of the contract, we came to know many of those employees.


It's hard to know what to say, many of us have been affected by lack of work in Scotland lately, however it is especially hard when an old established company falls on hard times. 


Unfortunately they weren't the first and I doubt they'll be the last.


After such sad news it was wonderful to experience the sublime; to be suffused by a wall of sound which spread over me as I sat in a sun- washed room on Tuesday evening. Cathures were quite magnificent and such a fitting choir to perform in our first concert since returning to our the Sanctuary. 


Wonderful; I am calm  and then ------



Everyman performed his last on Wednesday (well for the West end Festival at least) and even more people turned up to watch, and a different crowd from last Friday too. Gosh! we are being spoiled this last wee while, and there's a guitar concert coming up on Saturday.

 I managed to take quite a few more pics, a little rushed and without flash so as not to disturb the 'Actors' as they prepared themselves in the 'Green Room' .Now that I've checked them I've added them to the Flickr pages but in the meantime here is one of  "The Doctor entering the room, with Death in the corner"   (well it made me smile!)

At KH there has been a tradition of having a Garden Party (or parties!) to allow members and friends to come together at the appropriate time to carry out essential works in the garden grounds. Yesterday was one of those days, and the rain did stop and the sun did come out! Firstly, many thanks to those who turned out and contributed their time and energy, and special thanks to Ann Shill for the yummy sandwiches. Our youngest labourer took great delight in sowing the seeds of the Wildflower Meadow, showing great interest in the different sizes and colours of seed, while Mum raked and prepared the ground! Office-bound workers enjoyed their blisters (I hope) proof of their hard work - and a chance for my new First Aid Kit to be used. And what was very pleasant was being able to actually do a little proper gardening apart from just the hard work of cutting grass and hedges! New gardeners were surprised at just how extensive the grounds actually are. Alas; because of Parked c...
