Menooomph; Nae Much

Leaving Edinburgh, I headed westward again. I spent a week in my bolthole park up in New Lanark. It was absolutely bucketing down with rain for virtually the entire time, so there was no point in going anywhere else. Got lots of reading done, some photo processing and prep for the posts you have been reading, some catch-up viewing (when the signal behaved)... and, due to the sudden drop in temperature, my mind turned to crochet for the first time since the spring. I had a poncho started that needed to be finished. 

I have worn it a couple of times already as autumn settles in. That said, there have been some amazing, blazing, sunny days since then. 

Including the last weekend of August, when I finally returned to The Hutch. Well, to Dunoon... I parked on the promenade for a night or two before braving the stairs. I was surprised by how busy the place was and had completely missed the fact that the Cowal Gathering had been on (our version of Highland Games). I arrived back for the closing, and there was quite the waterside display in the evening...

There's a wee bit of video of this coming up on Saturday!  

I was only at the Hutch to make sure it was still standing, to do some laundry, load The Grey with kitchenalia and wardrobe items, and that sort of thing. I had to set off again by the 7th because it was back to Lanark, this time to connect with Aitch.

'Sall I have for you today... plenty more to come!
