One of the things I loved about Bridge of Weir when we first moved here, were the trees that grew through the village. The village slopes down the hillside above the River Gryfe, then out onto flatter land. There is an abundance of trees of all kinds that grow through people’s gardens and the little parks and along the banks of the River Gryfe.
During spring and summer you can hear birds singing from the trees each day from dawn till dusk. Then, at the end of summer, the birds quieten and the leaves on the trees turn from dark green into beautiful golds, reds and ambers.

Our family loves this time of year. We go for long walks in our wellies and enjoy seeing the changes of colour in the local parks and forests, as the seasonal winds blow away the last of the Autumn leaves.
My wife’s wonderful colourful wellies!
