I bought this book the other day in Paris. It's incredible ! I will be visiting Dublin next week (yes, I know that it isn't in Scotland), but books like this really make me want to visit that general region much more often.

Knitwits Yarns knitwitspenzance.co.uk My builders have been brilliant and I now have a secure false shop front and tomorrow the old front comes down - I am willing to bet large sums of money that the 1960's glass isn't going to come out in one piece, which they are confident it will - we shall see. Bizarrely, we didn't shut at all today as customers were happy to make their way past fit builders in...

Once upon a time, my daughter was listening to this on a family car trip - long before the advent of iPods. She had a portable cd player with earplugs. I remember being blown away by this song. What is it about the mysterious northern Shetland Isles of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides? I have always felt a strange kinship whenever I look at photos of these faraway places. Now Loreena McKennitt is a...

September 2009 has taken off with a bang with the Atlantic jet-stream 800 miles further south than last year culminating in a run of good sightings in England (rather than on the Scottish Northern Isles) and a selection of 'Grade 1 Rarities' including a gorgeous male PALLID HARRIER and a typically invincible and disappearing FAN-TAILED WARBLER. Due to the diversity and volume of sightings in the past...
