I am afraid all the doom and gloom of the election is far too terrifying to contemplate, so here is a wee tour of my weekend in Cromarty-which is up here....
On the Friday night the local am dram gave us a radio performance of a murder mystery. The cast included two cops from the Met. As is usual with these small cottage villages- most folk are English.
Outside our hotel
And there.... are the oil rigs, parked, menacing.
Sunny but cold!
Sitting in the bay
Me and Wendy from Dundee- watch out, she's coming to Bouchercon!
I had just drafted a new novel 'Death By Shinty!'
what it was, it was that big!
Don't argue with a woman frae Govan!
Signings!
Strange highland beastie
across the firth
locals firewalking
then looking the other way..
and me with some bloke...
