Not in a bad way, though I have in my time. And despite the picture this isn't the end (I hope), just the end of my challenge. I've found writing daily more difficult than I did back in May, so thank you to everyone who's stopped by. For one thing I've pretty much run out…Read more Crossing the line

Going back to Crinan
Well not exactly to Crinan this time, but another walk along the canal. Today we parked a mile or so from Crinan village at the Bellanoch bridge, and headed east from there. the River Add looking west towards Crinan and the sea I was surprised to see this lovely creature sunning itself on a rock*…Read more Going back to Crinan
Lunch on the beach

A nice bowl of pasta

The Post
Many people complain but we have an excellent postal service. Sometimes I would even describe it as magical, items arriving at their destination in what seems to be impossible speed. Throughout lockdown the post was a source of joy and anticipation, I kept things in "quarantine" for a day before I opened them. Now impatience…Read more The Post
