Just been looking for somewhere to stay for a break and it is obvious that AI has been let loose on some of the holiday let sites. One in Sutherland was bleating about how good Loch Ness is and how conveniently close it was.

The 1st day of 2026 has seen an abrupt change to something more visibly wintry 😀 Light snow on and & off all day. Just 5cm but certainly looking the part 👍 Hopefully the Amber warning lives up to its reputation this time 😉🤞
Anyway, a very Happy New Year to all of you. See you out there! 🏴🗻🌲❄️🦌🥃🥾🚲🏴

1/10 The new year is just around the corner, so here's a look back at our top 10 favourite pictures of 2025. Here is the Harvest Moon rising over Titterstone Clee. The sky was a vivid blend of pink and purple, contrasting with the cool tones of the radar dome below. #Shropshire

Dear Roy, Before Christmas you had a Wheelie Bin pinched. I have just had a Satellite Dish taken from my garden. I used this as a Parabolic Reflector for recording Birdsong. So if anyone sees this at a car boot sale, be careful as it may be Radioactive.
