A grand night out

Today’s picture shows a new flower. It’s a rather small sunflower against a background of zebra grass. It was another fine morning but I had tasks to do. I dropped stuff off at the Archive Centre. I had forgotten that it was Friday and so I inadvertently interrupted the people who were reading in theContinue reading “A grand night out”

If you interested in the ramifications of the LockerbieContinue reading “Watching brief”

Another unseasonably fine but very welcome day greeted us this morning and Dropscone and I enjoyed a pleasant run round the morning route. We weren’t quite as fast as yesterday but we were fast enough to be able to enjoy ourContinue reading “Black and blue”
