While I’m writing this, the leaves are turning yellow, insects are finding places to hibernate and the birds are well under way migrating. As the seasons turn, DDCA’s community development leader is taking a little break.
This summer was great. Lots of good weather, beautiful evenings and I got into lots of fun projects in my garden. I also did some travelling around Scotland to see friends and family I hadn’t seen in a long time. This summer was also pretty busy! Me and the volunteers in DDCA ran lots of fun events like the Dufftown wellbeing week and the Clocktower abseil. A lot has also happened behind the scenes, like working on a business plan for the Clocktower, setting up the DDCA community car and renting out bikes.
As we’re moving into autumn and things start to wind down, I too will take a little break. While I have been writing weekly blogs for nearly 8 months now, they will pause for October and resume in November. My challenge to you all is to take a moment, stop, and notice the changes of nature around you this time of year. If you have any beautiful photos of autumnal Dufftown, please send them our way! As always, you can get in touch with the DDCA on e-mail on facebook.
