| It appears that our friendly plovers have built a nest in the long grass in front of the pilot line at Belrose, and there are now 3 eggs in it. Of course NOBODY lands in the long grass, but please take extra care when wandering about in front of the pilot line to give the eggs a wide berth.

Those of us who have had health issues, survived or are still fighting health issues, all share a genuine reflection of what we have done throughout our lives and perhaps what we would like to do before we go to the “big hanger in the sky”.
