Things seen around the Coigach peninsula.
My trail camera fell down so instead of getting film of an animal nibbling at the block of butter I'd put on top of the post, I got a snippet of The Great Escape. No Ives you'll never make it.

That was a crunchy drive home this morning,the slush that the wind hadn't blown off the road has frozen. This is the coast so I'm guessing it's very bad inland.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
I've collected his work here...

Sad to hear this one off extraordinary comedic genius has died. There is no other comedian to compare with his range of genres he had to make people laugh.
Not a bad epitaph for a life well lived.
