Pethshire

My good friends Greg & Amanda have come to visit. We've done an amazing amount of walking. Here's the main Highland highlight.

We started off in the Highland town of Pitlochry. From here it's a reasonably short treck to Moulin, where the hillwalking begins.

Hard to believe that seminars finish up next week. Just like that. Over and done with.

We had a wee get-together on Friday. An isle of relaxation in a sea of busyness.

I was forced into wearing my kilt for the occasion.

I was doing some work in a pub one night and this guy turned up to play an open mic session. He was brilliant. One of his songs was about his one-year-old son: "His name is Johnny / Yeah, I tell you, he's bonnie / He eats, he drinks, he sleeps, he poos / Yeah, I tell you, he's front page news."
