Castlelaw Hill, Pentlands
After a break since earlier this year, I got out walking again with Anne – we did a little walk up Castlelaw Hill to check out her knees! All seems well, thankfully. It was an extremely windy day, but our walk slotted in nicely between showers so we didn’t get wet.
Cornwall 2018
We moved on from Devon to Cornwall, where we stayed in Mevagissey. We saw the Eden Project, which was really great, and had a nice trip over to Perranporth so that I could get in the sea in the sunshine.
Devon 2018
After Halsway we has a few days in Devon and Cornwall. In Devon we stayed at the Duke of York in Iddesleigh, a lovely little village quite a long way from most places.
Scotland’s summer sunshine!
Well we have had an amazing few weeks of sunshine – at times it has been really warm, and we have tried to make the most of it (though I confess to doing a bit of antenna building as well!). It’s definitely been beach weather for me!
Newton Stewart and Minigaff festival 2018
We had arranged to be down in Galloway for the Newton Stewart and Minnigaff Traditional Music and Dance festival weekend this year. We hadn’t been before so I had looked at the website in advance to see where sessions would be, and what concerts might be interesting.
Gatehouse visit
We’re back from a few days in Gatehouse where the weather could have been better but we managed a couple of BBQs and a nice little walk (and swim for John). Nice and peaceful!
String Sisters concert
We enjoyed a great concert at the Queen’s Hall this evening – the String Sisters were performing. Lots of great tunes – and lots of fiddle friends and acquaintances were there. Great to catch up with people.
