Yesterday evening I visited the 'Christmas at the Botanics' event once again at the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh and saw how different the various lights and artworks were.
I stopped off at the café/souvenir shop at halfway and treated myself to a lovely pistachio hot chocolate 😋 very tasty.

My Christmas Snowflake Windows are now up for another festive season ☺️❄️🙏🏻
I've had my windows and frames replaced over the past year, so I've got different shapes to work with.
But I feel that I did a pretty good job of it ☺️👍🏻

This is a video clip of my poem called Sanctuary which made it onto my new album: Welcome to My World. Very happy to have performed this in front of a supportive audience at Summerhall ☺️💜📖

Sunday 2nd November was a nice Bonfire and Fireworks Night at Burntisland in Fife ☺️🔥🎇
It was a nice change of location, having been to displays elsewhere in Musselburgh and Bridge of Allan in recent years.
I was stood at the front of the crowd in front of the bonfire 👀🔥

On Saturday 18th October, I travelled on the Paddle Steamer Waverley for the second time in 2025.
This time our sailing route was Glasgow-Arrochar-Glasgow, via Kilcreggan, Dunoon & Loch Long.
It was pretty cold with a strong breeze out on the water. However, it was a lovely day out once again ☺️

Saturday 13th September was a fab gig night at SWG3 POETRY CLUB featuring: Ryan Brown & Georgia Laing plus Blair Gilmour and his band warming up the crowd for the headliner Fraser McLean, seen below ☺️
It was a sold-out gig, so that tells you the high esteem in which all the performers are held ☺️💜🙏🏻
