Biting, heart-attack wind sweeping in squalls of rain, sleet and hail. We scuttled up the hill to get into the shelter of the woods but even here the trees thrashed about,the trunks groaning and moaning as they swayed backwards and forwards,the branches shushing and whooshing furiously. Shut your eyes you could imagine the surf was up.


And in between out crept the sun, whispering promises of warmth and longer days and casting beautiful light and shadow

before scuttling away again in the face of the next onslaught of icy furies.





In other news, some good gigs at Aberdeen Jazz Festival: www.aberdeenjazzfestival.com

and we finally made it to our first ever gig at The Tin Hut at Gartly,a small community hall out in the sticks that has built up a reputation for attracting good music and last night it was the very entertaining Thunder and Rain (https://thunderandrainmusic.com

An antidote to the current farrago out in the big wide world but at least there are a few honourable people left: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8oWrF2CXF8
