Why is this happening? Haven’t we learnt anything?

I have a love/hate relationship with Gatwick.

Good things about Gatwick: handy for home. Not as bad as Frankfurt or Dhaka. Bad things about Gatwick: everything else.

Off to Tiree thanks to cutting edge Gen 5 avionics!

In an hilarious turn of events, while I was carrying all my stuff in a tray to a counter at Glasgow Airport security, my trousers fell down and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

I love a twin otter. It’s like a Landrover or an Aga, not sexy but desirable (but they cost $8m, which is nearly as much as an Aga).

Evening all. I am minding Brèagha.

More on the cladding scandal at Artillery Quays.

This is Robina, to whom I was introduced by Fiona at Balemartine farm, and so splendid she is priced in guineas. I can’t think of anything else still priced in guineas, but I can remember when cars were.

This is how to do it.

New #rabbitholedetectives out today!

Someone published a fake story accusing me of being a paedophile today on X I reported it. J’accuse got right back to me with the promise of immediate action. This is X’s reply.

At Scarinish met David the archaeologist excavating an early Mediaeval building (sorry Prof Cat Jarman FSA💀, not Viking) with cavity wall insulation.

Brèagha.

Triple for breakfast, falafel for lunch #GieItLaldy

Kitty’s apricot tart.

I love a sanderling (?) scampering after a receding wave to get at the goodies.

Autumn colours for sheep are in.
