Accidental Encounter

17th Dec 2025

It’s been a while since I’ve been up to the reservoir. I checked back through the images awaiting edit and it was October 27th! That might give you some idea of the dreich weather we’ve been having. OK that’s not all that prevented me going up but a fair part of it and today, December 15th, the sun shone, kind of! 🙂 So I decided it was high time I went back up for a walk and to check the water level, last time I was there it wasn’t good. … More Accidental Encounter

Good morning everyone, it’s just gone 09:00 here in Central Scotland, after one of those restless, very sleepless nights, I awoke and took my usual look out the windows. I grabbed my phone, not sure a camera would be very effective for this job, and wandered outside in flip-flops and goonie as ever 🙂 I … More Play misty for me …

Into November

5th Nov 2025

The first weekend in November, I don’t think I actually noticed until later in the day, I guess that’s age and retirement for you. It was a real mixed bag of weather for the whole weekend; pretty cold, calm, sunny, wet, windy ….. anything else? … More Into November
