Being out in the countryside with my dogs gives me time to think. I’ve learnt the pleasure of solitude without being lonely, and that’s a good feeling for me.
IT’S GOT quite backendish this past week – lovely sunny mornings, but chilly, and the realisation that autumn has probably arrived. Wouldn’t it be grand to think we might get an Indian summer to compensate for the dismal summer proper (if you could call it such) we’ve had to endure?
ON WEDNESDAY I drove to Kingsmuir, outside Forfar, to give a talk to the Senior Citizens club. I was so delighted to see the sun I decided to take the scenic route and enjoy the views, rather than belt down the dual carriageway.
