On a drizzly evening, an intrepid small group of befrienders and young people met for a picnic at Castledykes Park. After eating, they explored the park, then walked up to and through Crichton grounds, then down to and along the river Nith – enjoying the beauty on our doorstep in fine company.

Thanks go to our talented young people for the photos below. Can you see our fury mascot in the bottom right photo?
