Julia in New Zealand
« on: October 30, 2017, 01:53:01 PM »
Julia Corden, SRGC stalwart and  manager of the Explorers' Garden at Pitlochry in Perthshire is a busy soul. As well as all the voluntary work she  does for SRGC and  her "day job" at  PItlochry, she is also  a tour leader  for several lovely  locations around the world.  At the moment she is in New Zealand - not leading a tour this time but on a speaking tour in the South Island - giving talks, among other things, about her work as a tour leader.  You may sense the  involvement of "Jandals", the wonderful Steve Newall, in this enterprise!

 Julia  will also be enjoying some holiday time  down south too - though this is hampered somewhat by a  bad knee, which I hope she is taking some care to protect on the mountains.  :-\

Julia has also enjoyed the New Zealand Trillium Event, where as well as meetings the group visited  several  fabulous garden .... I am happy to present a selection of her photos  here.

  As  she flew into  Christchurch last week ......
"Flying into Christchurch over the Southern Alps - fantastic flight!           
Now a walk in the fresh air!!"

"Great visit to the International Antarctic Centre, near the airport in Christchurch. Little Blue Penguins and White-tipped Penguins - so much fun!"
