Likes: kindness & countryside; music & morality; decency & dunes; humour & hope, hopefully knowing when alliteration must simply stop
Dislikes: The obvious really. The antithesis of the above. Climate change denial/doomism is top.

Sharing this space with G-pa – 78 rpm (rocking past midnight). He’ll put a G in his posts. Images are a mix of his & mine over the years.
Like me, he loves the movie #LocalHero & worries about climate change, so much he wrote a script for a climate follow-up. Open this post to read more in my reply.

And now he’s home and happy.
I’m thinking there’ll be a few more images to come from the Arctic adventure.
It was clearly cool 😊

G-pa is off on a bucket list cruise (first & last). Hopefully resulting in a few nice pictures that might get posted here. If so I'll take a wee break from my Scottish pictures and let his destination take centre stage.
Unless I have to post anything suitably damning & derogatory about trump etc. 😉

One of the very few buildings in Alta that survived the nazi’s scorched earth as they fled in 1944.
Symbol of survival of nazi tyranny.
