June 1st, Orchids and the Moonlight Prowl


June 1st, officially the start of meteorological Summer, and a marked improvement in the weather,Grey Granite marked this by finding the first truly wild  orchid of the year and becoming 1 in 800 'Quines in Pink'.
Northern Marsh Orchid growing near the route of the old 'Belger Trainnie' between Inverallochy and St Combs.
Grey Granite,  later took part in the Moonlight Prowl, along with about 799 other pink clad ladies
The warm up at traditionally gets the Prowl off to a great start.

The Prowlers heading up Strichen Road, the support from members of the public who decorate their houses in pink and stand outside offering refreshments, encouragement and 'P stops' to the Prowlers is Fraserburgh at its best. There is a tremendous community spirit, as one lady walking behind Grey Granite was heard to remark, 'better than Edinburgh'.

Shops and individuals paint the town pink and offer support, to date the Prowl has raised over £605,000 for Breast Cancer Research

Been there, done that, got the Tee shirts.
