Walking in Dreich

11th Feb 2026

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

I’m not complaining, really, I’ve been saying we need rain for a few weeks now so ….. this morning it was actually pishin’ doon, not too bad now. I think the worst part of almost constant dreich is the dull grey, useless for photography and a wee bit depressing after a while but…….. it really is not worth getting depressed by the weather, it’s just weather, right? … More Weekly Digest

Play misty for me …

8th Nov 2025

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 …
