Flying south

I saw the first geese flying south for the winter today... how depressing, another short season.

Stormy said the geese were on their way today too, I thought they were just off to fresh feeding grounds, it could be the same though.

Well - we still have our swallows, and two nests had 2 litters - but then we are further south.

Been picking blackberries for two weeks. First hazelnut last Friday, well ripe. Strange that, usually another week or so, longer when cold and wet.

Lucky git! I should have done the same. I'm on the First Scotrail sleeper. There is no power in the Lounge, so no service, so only continental breakfast in the morning..... I am reliably informed that the same thing happened on the same train last week. Given the continuing problems with their online ticketing system, I might as well forget about trying to do anything about my already rather large carbon footprint. Depressing, innit?

Oh, and there's no wifi either (using dongle).

Our nuts may well not be ripe until November then!

I noticed the geese in Norway were heading South about 3 weeks ago. They have had as lousy a summer as we have.

Things must be bad. They were flying over Stirling towards Falkirk the other day.

Ooops, sorry Dan....
