Survived the madness that is Boomtown though my feet only just have: every time I`ve tried to put them back in boots they`ve screamed "not yet!" and it`s been flip-flops for the last week.


Worth it tonight though, a perfect sunlit evening redolent of all things autumnal, as if summer was kicking back and saying, "Ok that`s me, done the best I can do but I`ll be off quite soon now". Warm and still, high white clouds, red berries, a few leaves just beginning to turn, birds cooing and murmuring just out of sight and the odd hare scuttling out of our way.

Feet survived anyway: now have to get them ready for a much longer adventure.........

Sunday 6.8.2017

A lovely summer`s day at the end of what`s been a changeable week of downpours and sunshine - sometimes at the same time.
Busy skies,

a fresh breeze out on the hill but warm in the woods.


Yesterday Edinburgh was in summer mood, familiar silhouettes against the evening sky,

the whole place buzzing as the Festival gets under way and the gravity-defying Cirkopolis your starter for 10. Wow!

And next week it`s Boomtown.......http://www.boomtownfair.co.uk/the-story/
Can`t wait......
