Need a line?
We stopped at Torver in the southern lakes to see a very fishy phone box.
Agitated water
Headed to Coniston Water for a canoe. The swell was too high to take out a canadian so we chugged over the waves in a very slow motor boat towards Peel Island. Not very Swallows and Amazons but as adventurous as we could manage.
Wonderful sky.
Bring me sunshine
Cockenzie chimneys
An emergency visit to the dentist took us back near our home again. We had already said our goodbyes to the iconic chimneys of Cockenzie power station which are due for demolition.
As we sped past on the A1 we knew this really would be the last time we will see this sight again.
The Pictish deer
Yesterday at dusk we were visited by a young deer and mother. I read today that the Pictish symbol of the deer found on the cross slab at Glamis depicts the soul thirsting for the water of life.

A dreich day on Lismore
LIFE IS FABULOUS!
Traveller’s blessing
LIFE be in my speech,
Sense in what I say,
The bloom of cherries on my lips,
Till I come back again.
The love Christ Jesus gave
Be filling every heart for me,
The love Christ Jesus gave
Filling me for every one.
Traversing corries, traversing forests,
Traversing valleys long and wild.
The fair white Mary still uphold me,
The Shepherd Jesu be my shield,
The fair white Mary still uphold me,
The Shepherd Jesu be my shield.
An ancient Celtic blessing from the collected writings in the
Carmina Gadelica, Volume 1, by Alexander Carmicheal, born on Lismore
