Change of scene

The house feels very strange without Ollie, so we are going away to Deeside - hence the blip - for a couple of days.  As Orkney pensioners we get four free ferry crossings a year, and as we have some in hand, we are going to use them to nip down to visit B&Q and other retail establishments!  

Unfortunately the weather isn't looking very good, but we have packed all our layers.  I didn't check what books were there when I put this bottle on the shelf.  What a curious mixture!
