It’s over fifty years since I first worked in Africa and to be honest – it feels like it was only yesterday —
Every time I left that continent all I wanted to do was go back there —
Having just watched a documentary on how some of the parts of Africa where I worked have run out or are running out of water – I know where I would rather be right now —
Even Comrie on a wet day is preferable —
Spent the morning hoping the rain would go off but it was not to be —
So it was on with the waterproofs —
At least we had the hilltop wood all to ourselves —
Apart from busy birds clearing the branches of nuts and berries before winter sets in —
It’s a dull day out there – even Loki isn’t impressed.
Here’s a few shots from a lovely day out down by Ardrishaig —
Down the Crinan Canal —
Into the final lock —
Ably supervised —
Almost there —
Southbound from the last lock on the Crinan Canal …
There she goes —
Gone —
