Loving the gratuitous spike!

Enjoying the quiet satisfaction of boarding a prebooked train that’s taken five weeks of walking to reach. Back in a few weeks for the Aberdeen to Edinburgh leg but before then it’s a busy schedule of family & assignments. Glad to have a long journey ahead to make the adjustment.

Managed to smuggle some Scottish sand into England on the train.

Always good to see when my photos find a new home: nine prints from Dumfries & Galloway now living in New Zealand.

Yeehaw!

  1. I accidently fell into the sea and ruined my camera on that beach! Your photos are lovely, as usual.

        I lost one going over the bars into a ditch when cycling the Moray coast – it was that annoying detour when the Lossie footbridge was closed.
        That beach into Aberdeen and the one north of Peterhead must have taken some planning re water – was bad enough biking them in that respect. Balmedie helped.

Whether you have comments on the photos, some knowledge or a personal story on this area you’d like to share, or you’ve spotted a typo or error, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
