Scapa Sparkling Flow

Well – what did you expect?  After more gardening duties I went and lay in the field by the sea and read my book.  Immediately certain folk amongst you will know that this means the Current Mrs Creel (CMC) was away across on Hoy with her sister.

My book has all been very disappointing – a turgid biography of Thomas Telford which was an ill-advised purchase in Ullapool.

Two ravens barrelled around me, a bonxie heaved by languidly.  A teeo came to investigate; I heard its wing beats just before it arrived. The mallimaks chattered. Larks provided a seemingly eternal chorus.  The heat was stupefying.

I’d better get my b hind in gear – there are dishes to do and a meal to cook.
