Book ?? has been delivered so I'm scouting locations for the next one.

This means I see something nice, look around for a good coffee shop and if there's a match, it will get in  the book.

 As usual we are having a lot of weather. The rain was so bad on the way up, the traffic was crawling. There was sunshine for ten minutes and now we have snow.

 This is normally a small burn, quite a torrent today.

I think my character is going to live in that cottage so I can describe the view.

And put a dead body on the beach.

This was taken with my phone camera. There was a wee aquatic beastie messing around. I thought it might have been Nessie on her holidays after being caught on  webcam last week. But I doubt it. It was a seal.

Millpond smooth. The water flowing in here meets water flowing out at a height difference of 1.3 metres. But there's been so much rain there was nothing to see.

Somebody is definitely going  off this bridge. Soon.

In fact I have a list !

Stopping for a coffee, this was very welcome.

                                                     

                                        The dog in the coffee shop. Has the mental capacity of a three year old human.

                                                   Which is more than most politicians.

                                                               

                                The pen and the notebook proves that I am really  researching  and not just messing                                                         about with the coffee shop dogs.

                                                             

                                Apart from when I was messing about with the dogs. This was a 2 year old smooth collie who kept putting a stick on my thigh for me to throw.

                                                                   

                                          This was the size of the stick compared to my fountain pen.

                                           

                                      This was a Scottish deerhound back at the campsite. Wearing an anorak.

                                                    

                                              I'm sure this is how most dogs see the world.
