Via #CounterSocial:
I was looking forward to an early finish yesterday until the #Fuckening. The nice two lane A class road I was on turned into a single track, barely above dirt track, road over the moors (yet still somehow rated as an A road, suitable for two way traffic including articulated lorries) and hillsides. A road where even 20mph was dangerously fast.
It cost me over an hour of travel time.
#RuralScotland Gotta love it.
Well worth a read if you are interested in improving #forestry in Scotland

I saw that young #heron standing on the path this morning. As nice as it is to see #wildlife up close, I do hope it learns to go somewhere else real soon. This is a relatively busy path, next to a relatively busy road [obvs we're talking busy in terms of #RuralScotland, not the #M25, but still, timber lorries use it all the time], and if it keeps hanging about here then one day the view I'm going to see of it is laminated to the road surface or shot by an angler.

Best wishes of the season from me. Here’s the digital Christmas card my husband and I have been sending out. It’s based on a snowy landscape scene in the Scottish Borders by Dundonian artist James McIntosh Patrick.
