Return to Scotland

We left Hay this morning fearing the worst, that we would face long delays because of strike action.
 
Instead the 9-hour journey from door to door went remarkably smoothly. But it’s always a relief to get back home however enjoyable the holiday.
 
First thing I did was taking a walk around the garden and take some photos. ( see extra).
Several talks at Hay this week mentioned the importance of exposure to green spaces and gardens and how your garden becomes your personal sanctuary, a place to relax and enjoy the benefits of your own peaceful space.
 
If I had to pick one subject that recurred in many talks at Hay it was mental health. Its good to see this once taboo topic, now openly discussed.
