The Pentland Hills looking fantastic last weekend & just a wee bus ride from #Edinburgh city centre. Hills are Turnhouse & Carnethy & in trees below the peaks is site of Battle of Rullion Green (1666) 'tween Covenanters & government troops led by Tam Dalyell of The Binns.
Spot the 3 deer.

A screenshot of a review of Joey and Co in Tirol by Elinor M. Brent-Dyer which reads: "My first review of the year. [four red stars out of five Ladies, control yourselves, but this is the book in which Hot Roger makes his debut. Oh, we all know Reg is the official hottie in the Chalet School series (Joey's first born does, after all, memorably swoon into his arms) but Roger? If ever a book involved a swoonsome debut of a new hero to be, this is that book and Roger is that chap. After all, he prances around the Tiernsee in next to nothing, has some particularly flirtatious moments with al..."

Believe it or not, I have been sleeping better than anybody in our tent and have been reported to have said, "So you don't like Paul any more?" And to have sung in my sleep.

I’m busy baking cakes for tomorrow’s event at Cheadle Hulme library (3pm). This is the fruit cake Jack makes for Amélie when they’re snowed in and the recipe is in my book Christmas at the French Repair Shop.

Edwin Morgan
Aberdeen Train
Rubbing a glistening circle
on the steamed-up window I framed
a pheasant in a field of mist.
The sun was a great red thing somewhere low,
struggling with the milky scene. In the furrows
a piece of glass winked into life,
hypnotized the silly dandy; we
hooted past him with his head cocked,
contemplating a bottle-end,
and this was the last of October,
a Chinese moment in the Mearns.
Rubbing a glistening circle
on the steamed-up window I framed
a pheasant in a field of mist…

The food is very good. Each patrol takes it in turn to help Mrs Lovegrove cook it. We cooked spaggetti bolangeze & pie then for breakfast we had eggy bread.
