I recently spent a couple of weeks working on the beaches of Harris and Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Life can be tough sometimes. It was the beginning of May, pre-midges and so often hot in Scotland. We did have […] -

Lucky lot! Penmeanach is one of my favourite Scottish beaches but I certainly dind’t get to go there with school. I’m sure there must still be a gpm signature somewhere in the depths of the bothy book.

He checked the website and discovered he could use his old passport. The sofas are now pristine and hoovered to an inch of their life. :0)

Thank you, Iota! And I’ve been wondering how you’re doing. John Muir verification – no coincidence! He came from East Lothian and my blog is hosted by the East Lothian Education Dept. I believe all of the word […]

It is autumn, after all. Trees deserve several mentions. I went for a walk yesterday with Ray and Harvey, on a lovely autumn afternoon up through Ormiston Woods to find the yew tree. Ray has lived in East […] -

Tara’s prompt this week is T. Just that, T. So I thought I’d show you some trees.The twisted pines are behind the dunes at Yellowcraig in East Lothian. All these years that I’ve lived here and I’d never seen […]
