Louise Bichan and band

Today's highlight was a Sutherland Sessions concert with Louise Bichan and her band. It took place at Rogart Mart (see extra for the lovely setting of the Mart, at dusk during the interval; what the photograph does not show are the midges...). Louise's website mentions that she is a musician and a photographer. She also uses stories - or rather diaries and family reminiscences - in her work. It was an excellent and heart warming concert, in lovely surroundings. Louise continues her mini tour of Scotland from tomorrow onwards.

Also today, I took a "digging break" to do battle with that part of next door's huge bank of leylandii which overhang our back garden. It looks much neater now, and the brown bin is full.

And I thought that I'd "finished" the last bit of writing which I promised (mainly myself; but others were happy to receive my work) I would finish this summer. Maybe it's not finished, though, so I may have to work on it a little more.
