Remember these things when you were younger? I was searching, in my brain, for a title for this one and ….. I’ve been off here for a while now, not sure why, I seem to have been in a bit of a doldrum lately.

February 27th – I’ve been hankering after a walk to Scurdieness lighthouse for quite some time now. There’s about a one hour drive across Angus to get there, on the East coast and on the South shore of the River South Esk opposite the town of Montrose. Our weather apps had been foretelling of a … More A good day for a walk

I’ve been using Manual for a long time and tweaking ISO / Speed as i shot but now i have this set up it has become so much easier to just focus … More Great article and information from Mark
Much as I love the word dreich, it just works, I am getting truly fed up of it, grey, dull, dank skies, often raining and not real rain but that misty wet stuff that clings when it lands. To my memory, the last sunny day we had was Jan 19th when i went up to the reservoir, the sun did try to get through a couple of days back but only for a few minutes, then gave up. Apparently the Jetstream is pointing right at us and a weather front is stuck over Scandinavia and we’ve had Easterly winds all this time ……. cold! … More Walking in Dreich
