Dunkeld
A day out yesterday...riding the Scottish National 10mile time trial...cold, windy and hard....I was slowest woman,but I beat three men!!

John Paul Jones
We visited the birthplace of John Paul Jones, at Arbigland on the Solway Firth.
One of five children of the estate gardener, sailor, founder of the USA navy and commander of part of Russia's navy....died a pauper in France....

Quilting at Shambellie House
A marvellous and inspiring exhibition at a beautiful house...hopefully they will succeed in their aim for a study and work centre.
The next Scottish Quilters exhibition is scheduled for September 2020 at Shambellie House, in New Abbey near Dumfries. I wonder if I'll have that half finished quilt of mine done for then...
started 1997 in Y Bala...

A few days away
We were invited to stay with friends further south, so no internet...it was good to be taken to some interesting places and not have to keep up with the housework!
I'd have appreciated it more if our friend wasn't such a hard and fast driver....on relatively small roads. My back's damaged bits are playing up,so that one side of my neck is like a board..and HURTS!!..Especially when being jiggled about in a car..then between midnight and dawn chorus.....4.30 am,by the way!
Still,we had lovely misty views. England is over there...honest!
We cut and run early,only to eventually discover that our lovely chiropractor is on holiday......
tomorrow's job is to get to know another. At least in the future, I'll be able to travel on the bus for treatment....
