COVID-19 Lockdown Week 2 August 2021 – Taieri Recreational Tramping Club

The photos for this post were taken in the week to noon Thursday 26th August.

Club members have been out and about walking and on their bikes in lots of beautiful places in their local areas. We have been so lucky to have good weather. Many have also achieved great things working and relaxing in their gardens and around home.

Our sympathies go to Ady for her flood.

Thank you Jenni for offering a mask to anyone in need.

Enjoy the following photos. Chris Wither

Hi Team, Photos from Friends Hill Road on Sunday Photos and message Shona

Time to reflect in lock down. A bit sombre perhaps, but today would have been Denim’s 17th birthday. A Golden Labrador, he was my son’s guide dog for 8 years, and my pet for 5 years in his retirement. Put a Camellia flower, from the garden, on the plaque where his ashes are buried, and looked through Denim’s photo file on my computer today. R.I.P. Denim. John Gardiner photos and message

*The water tower on the top of the ‘Mosgiel’ Hill is useful for getting exercise walking up hill. Photo is of me walking up the steps in McFadden Drive to the water tower. Photo and caption Clive*

Awww great to see these pics. Thanks so much Webteam for making this happen.
Ady, what an absolute mess, glad you weren’t away on holiday.
John, what a lovely story about Denim. He must have been an amazing family member.
Marijke, you have soooo many hidden talents. The water feature looks amazing and love the use of the schist rock.
Keep well and happy everyone, Jenni.

Thanks Clive. We found the steps on Mc Fadden Drive and enjoyed the great views over Mosgiel and the Taieri from the top.
