Fantastic fresh-washed autumn morning: brilliant blue sky with the occasional splash of white cloud, a keen wind tossing birds and trees about, a half moon hanging overhead and Ben Rinnes needle sharp on the horizon. Could have walked to John O`Groats and back before breakfast. Made do with a tramp round the perimeter of the woods, dog delirously chasing everything that moved.
And Orion has returned. I glanced to my left as I drove up the back hill late last night and there he was, lolling across the eastern horizon like some disreputable lothario waiting to be fed grapes.
I`d been at a meal with some friends to say farewell to one of our number who is to set off on a fantastic adventure for six months, working on South Georgia.* Hopefully Orion will keep an eye on her as well.
