Never one to stand still, I realised it has been months since my last post. Though if truth be told, I’d only planned to blog a year, it just took me a while to realise how fast the year was going and that the blog wasn’t just enough. So I started writing in notebooks instead. It began with a short story…two notebooks later…a short novel…and 6 months later I’m heading for a reasonable sized book with the sketchings of several more following on. A re-discovery for me of an outlet for all that imagination n’ stuff 🙂
So. I’m still no closer to finishing this book than I was when I started – it just got bigger. But I have crammed a lot into my year after all. And I took up drawing with a vengeance.
The New Stuff/my highlights since September. A brief few months of church bell ringing – (I was utterly appalling at it, had a whale of a time – eventually work got in the way). Knitted (nearly all finished) a swaledale jersey, the fridge/freezer packed in, found new places in County Clare,
Bishop Brennans hat
and Perthshire, around Dalwhinnie. 
Through the pine door
Tried Blair Atholl whisky, the Glenrothes, Edradour whiskies. Explored around Dumfries and Galloway. 
Got a fridge/freezer given to me by a neighbour. Dined like a king on Deer hearts and venison straight off the moorland estates. 
Found a fairy loch by Aviemore.
An Lochan Uaine
Watched shooting stars lying on a frosty field, made loads of new friends, got stopped by immigration entering Manchester airport….much to the entertainment of the party I was escorting…
Fell in – and out – of love several times (sometimes with the same person), drank cocktails wearing googly eye glasses, watched Blackcocks and stalked stags…and another freezer stopped working.
