I'm Back

 After spending the summer trying to get my head organised and get back into life again, I'm back.

I hope to put a few photo blogs up with some of the things I saw this summer but, for now, here is a link to my Lomography album from this past weekend: Autumn in Dumfries and Galloway

 And some Autumn photos:

Just Missed the Sunshine

 I decided to take a short camping trip in Glentrool last week. It seemed like a good idea at the time as we'd had several weeks of unseasonally warm weather.

I suppose when people travel thousands of miles to be there they self-select for enthusiasm and there was bucket loads of it in Glasgow this weekend. I started the day with a couple of readings by Ken McLeod. These were delivered in Ken's trademark relaxed and friendly style, a nice gentle start to a Sunday morning. Later, I caught up with my Shoreline of Infinity colleagues at their stall which was doing a roaring trade and I was able to support Noel Chidwick and Pippa Goldschmidt who were launching a new project called SF Caledonia. This is an online showcase of all SF things Scottish and the presentation featured a recorded reading (as John Buchan) by actor Jonathan Whiteside and a live reading from Callum McSorley, 2023 McIlvanney Prize winn...
