Rounding the Mull of Kintyre, and those of a certain age are probably humming that 70s #1.

Just picked up a copy of Brodie by Gillian Shirreff from my local bookshop shop. Anyone read it?

I usually don’t post my food photos, but Sophie’s amazing salad last night would grace any menu or culinary book.

Following on from my post about our daughter graduation from Dundee Uni in Illustration, this was me signing copies of our book Stories of Cancer and Hope at @waterstones.bsky.social which she designed the jacket for and did an amazing illustration inside. We are all very proud of her.

Out for a Dabell today and came across this beautiful bench next to the Tweed.
