Easter Ross - Ullapool

It's been a tricky time recently with lots of cases of Covid in the village having an impact on confidence. We've made tentative steps to get back together, beginning with a lovely warm sunny afternoon in the Ullapool Garden of Reflection where we planted flowers, shrubs, bulbs and hand made birds in our planter. We added some of the Dementia Friendly Community pebbles too and one of the group created a hand painted sign.
