The day in pictures. 26 Aug 2013 | 11:36 pm

No blog 23 Aug 2013 | 07:57 pm
No blog today. Time comprehensively defeats me. I gaze in bafflement as it flashes past my eyes. Just two pictures for you. Another of Stanley and his new friend. The whole thing with the stick kill...

This morning, I woke to a low sky and a light, misty rain. It’s that kind of rain where there is just a sense of water in the air; less falling than swirling, almost like a flying dew. The Horse Talk...

The Tarland Show 10 Aug 2013 | 11:01 pm
The Tarland Show was absolutely, gloriously marvellous. I went up, thinking I would stay for an hour or so, and ended up being there all day. It took me back to my showing childhood. Stanley the Dog b...
No blog today. 9 Aug 2013 | 06:39 pm
It’s been a long week, and I have hit the wall. But I did want to say that the Dear Readers have been particularly dear in the last few days. You have left wise and kind comments, sent dancing tweets...
Light and shade; or in which I witter on about the blindingly obvious. 8 Aug 2013 | 08:41 pm
