This was a most excellent book to be snowed in with in the Highlands over the tail-end of Yuletide. A gift from @laurakaykelly.bsky.social at Christmas 2025.

Spooksome Old Town cemetery on a windy rock on a blustery day, with Stirling Castle looking a bit huffy up there behind it.

A blue sky, a blue sea and my beautiful bike for my first post on BlueSky. No idea what I'm doing or how anything works on here, but life's all trial and error, eh...
