If anyone wanted to write a perfect May day, today would have done it: brilliant blue sky with a few cheerful fluffy clouds dotted about; bleating lambs; chirruping larks; hares and deer leaping about;coconut scented gorse;fresh green on the trees and dappled shade in amongst them. The wind was cold enough to remind us that we haven`t left winter that far behind (it is snowing in parts of Europe as I write apparently) but,as always, in the woods it was warm and still.

And there is a new baby on this spinning planet - many congratulations F and S! (see Frankiesoup`s blog)



Last week was a whirlwind of work but escaped on Friday, down to Edinburgh and a completely brilliant gig - check out Katzenjammer- and then tramping the streets of Edinburgh on Saturday, soaking up the big city atmosphere, drinking coffee, reading my book and people watching.
Ended the day down by the waters of the Forth as the setting sun laid a glittery golden path across them, the bridges silhouetted in the background and some intrepid wind surfers braving the by then chilly wind.
Nearly finished Dan Gardner`s book (Risk) and it really is worth reading - especially if you worry a lot!
