MIKE’S POCKET ROCKET!

As you drive north on the A93, past Blairgowrie and into the foothills of the Highlands, the scenery starts to change. Despite the fact that I was visiting in late spring, there was still plenty of snow on the hills. Mike also pointed out a pair of rare red kites, as they swooped majestically over his back yard.
