It's Halloween so naturally I had to visit a graveyard 🪦.

There are some lovely grave markers in St Michael's kirkyard, Inveresk.
Broken headstone with intricate carving showing two angels or cherubs holding open a book.

Look out for ducks appearing in a puddle near you...
Five small plastic ducks and one larger one in a puddle. The puddle reflects Preston Tower, Prestonpans which also appears in the background. The ducklings have drifted to the puddle margins and rest beside the grassed area.

Danger: Falling Socks

#FakePlaques #Prestonpans
A black bench with a plaque. In the distance is Prestonpans Yacht Club. A close up of a brass coloured plaque on a weathered black bench. The plaque reads Danger: Falling Socks.

I haven't noticed this before in #Prestonpans Lidl.

Is bottle recycling on its way?

I'm reminded of the day we went for a walk near Gosford and happened upon a ploughing match.

Happy Plough Sunday!
A white arrow-shaped sign on which is handwritten in black "ploughing match" A blue tractor with plough. A woodland path. Through a large gap in the trees we can see a field. In the distance there are many tractors

I'm reading the East Lothian Courier (buy a paper!) and think it's extraordinary that Reuse Scotland have raised £100,000!

East Lothian is rocking the circular economy!

Delivery drivers and posties work so hard at this time of year.

A snack might just make their day!
