Katie's Wood

Katie takes her dog,there sometimes to give it exercise. Other times she goes to the shops on messages for her mum .

But she tells me that she much prefers the quiet of the woods,the gentle rushing of water in the Stenhouse burn and the peace of the early morning in summer, spring and autumn. She says that she likes to watch the way the trees change colour and drop their leaves in November. And, of course, she loves to see most of the trees and bushes 'put on their new clothes' in the Spring. She admits that she gets a bit annoyed with people who carelessly drop their litter, spoiling the look of the place for others. She asks why people can't learn to be more like trees! ,

"Well, trees are tall, strong, very beautiful and they don't make a mess or fight each other all the time, do they, grandad? "



Quite right, Katie!
