My benchmate

I realised I hadn't blipped the bold Leo for a while, so I grabbed the chance while he kept me company on the bench this afternoon between cleaning and packing. Me, not Leo ;-)

Bestie Gill will be arriving later to stay the night so that we can get on the road early-ish tomorrow. We are heading north for our first ever visit to Orkney for a few days. 

Hoping for decent weather, but the forecast isn't looking good...
