..and in spite of rain all day today!

in yesterday's warm sunshine the hedges, grass, path to the shore and two of the meadow areas got cut at last.

Congratulations to Grace who has completed the 95 mile West Highland Way here in Scotland. I am meeting her on Monday to hear all about it!

Angela and Swissrose who live in different parts of Switzerland met for coffee and sent me a happy photo. Both bloggers and commenters here, they met through this blog. Made me smile all day - thank you both! (Angela I couldn't find a link to your old blog but if you'd like to link us to it could you do so in the comments?)

Lynne has opened registration for her new course on Choosing the Poetic Life, with the enticing title Catch The Whispers. Read about it here.

The Scottish Sculpture Park at Colintraive on Argyll's Secret Coast is well worth a visit for it's stunning setting and intruiging sculptures.

More about the Sculpture Park tomorrow...

So happy to hear that Grace was able to complete the West Highland Way. What a feat! Congratulations, Grace.

How fun for Angela and Swissrose to meet up--especially from 'meeting' here on your blog. Happy, too, that the weather cooperated long enough for you to get to the sculpture garden. A post of good news.

a few more of your blog friends have met up...isn't time we all think about it? Scotland's on my bucket list. just think about it.

there are times when I love an all day gentle rain. it's as if nature is giving me permission to stay inside & relax.

I've been thinking of a meet up for some time - I was thinking of York perhaps next summer? Wouldn't that be fun!!

I know what you mean about the rain - it was so heavy that there was no question of doing anything outside.

'Where is the rest of the flock?', asks the one on the left.
'Flown off to join a gathering on Cath's lawn I heard' says the one on the right.
'Imagine meeting our cousins there' sighs the one in the middle.
The three up front remain silent and probably think 'our grass is greener and tastes better.'

Cath you could make a poem out of anything! There were about 15 of these ghostly geese.

Thank you Freda. The WHW was challenging in places but I enjoyed the journey so much. I had wanted to do the walk for a long time and finally decided to go for it this year to celebrate completing my 60th spin around the sun. 🌞

Hi Freda and friends, Swissrose and I had a lovely 2.5 hour chat at the Einstein Cafe in Bern, Switzerland. We spoke about the warmth of the community here, thanks to Freda! I don’t blog anymore but can be found on Instagram at refusetherefuse. I’m taking a short break from it, at the moment, to embrace some inner calm. Hugs for all! xx
