Galloway awayday

Pirate's turn to ride first...

Then I had a wander around New Galloway

On past Loch Ken

To the Gallery at Lauriston, home of photographer Phil McMenemy and family, a place celebrating here, in other words Galloway. Local artists, painting, jewellery, glass and ceramics (and others!) along with Phil's breathtaking photographs. 

All that and local food in the cafe, well made and well served.

We met a couple of friends there for coffee and cake..and met a cyclist from Dumfries who happened to be there..and made a new friend!

I like the opening hours.. Wednesday to Friday plus Sunday.

Saturday is for Family....and cricket!!

Onwards in the car ...

Over the hill to Gatehouse of Fleet

Where we went to look at some wood...

Some beautiful six year old elm

Which will be made into a bench seat.

Then an hour on the bike together from Gatehouse up the very old main road and back..

Then to Newton Stewart in the car for a chip supper..a special treat!

We left there at dusk, and saw the moon rise over the hills as we drove home over the hills
