Gill and I enjoyed a coffee and straight-from-the-oven cream scone in the café at Tir no nOg this morning before having a massage. Gill opted for a gentle, relaxing one while I, as usual, went down the masochistic route and chose a deep tissue treatment.

After a soup and sandwich lunch at home Gill headed back to Troon while Minty and I had a walk round the quarry field, where this hedge is part of the perimeter.
