I've just found out that #coffeeoutside is a whole thing. I think I can get onboard with that kind of movement (even if it needs a dry robe, a duvet jacket AND a duvet today).

If anyone is looking for something to do 27-30 December, the Crannog Centre near Aberfeldy is in the midst of a midwinter festival with brilliant activities. He's some photos of our pre-Christmas visit.

We've been sitting in freezing fog for a few days so yesterday I took a lunchtime walk up onto the Campsies to see what was going on up there.

I'm not sure whether the person who carved these words above a door half way up the NEVERENDING steps from Waverly station to my office had me in mind when they put them in.

But thank you anyway.

It's a bit easier than putting up the Christmas decorations at home thanks to @daddyfool.bsky.social our fab web developer

Daughter taking her own route. "I just to let you know that this walk is definitely not making me feel better"

Excited to find #fingerpostfriday!
Here's one of my favourite photos from my green belt walk. The day I said to daughter, feeling miserable in bed, "a walk ALWAYS makes you feel better. Come on this walk. It will be FUN!"

From what I can see from their website it's just at end of the airport runway.

Good morning! Here's a few cheering photos from yesterday. These short days of winter need short walks at lunchtime or I'd hardly see the sun at all.

Took a walk in the woods this afternoon with a fungi enthusiast friend and this was my fav. Green elf cups,
vivid luminous, blue-green.

(fun fact - it is the colour from the mycelium of this fungus that creates the blue colour in marquetry wood)

It's snowy up on the Campsies today in a 'bleak midwinter' kind of way.

This video of 'Sagacity' an art installation by Aidan Moesby we commissioned for our SCCS COP26 hub just popped up for me. This time lapse shows the real-time emotions being expressed about COP26 on Twitter during one day.
My thoughts are with the activists at #COP29 in Baku this week.

Today begins the second leg of my @aprscotland.bsky.social Green Belts Lecture Tour... Kirkcaldy, Glasgow and Edinburgh this week.

Preparing to tell tales of adventure, derring-do and mud from my doorstep.

Thanks to daughter for the t-shirt 😂 I'll definitely wear it.

One of our neighbours led a fungus foray through the woods and up to the hill grassland at the weekend. Waxcaps, porceline mushroom and golden spindles pictured. Lovely!
