Certainly a dream team, although many seem to object to Solti. It was the first recording I heard and I tend to stick to my first impressions, hence all the Karajan in my collection!

I love Apple almost as much as this recording!

Happy retirement!

Took advantage of the sun

Went south to do some shopping

Crewe isn’t the place for a brief encounter scenario! But still, jealous

Alice can do that

Great idea, good luck, I’ve never regretted retiring early other than wishing I’d done it sooner

It nearly set the house on fire

Went to a new favourite beach

Out and about in Kylesku

Book no 3 of the year: The Finest Road in the World, James Miller. Entertaining history of transport in the highlands

Quick walk this morning

Just read that as Jenrick, too much news in the feed!

Book no 2 finished: The Silver Darlings, Neil M Gunn. A classic

Liking as I tend to share your tastes!

An exciting trip to Ullapool

Didn’t venture far from home today

First book of 2026 finished

It’s going well in Scotland so far

About to start my #ChristmasRead - Edwin Drood. Don’t tell me how it ends…

Moved to Scotland in August, you’re right!

Independent People has to be one of the greatest novels ever written

Deepest sympathies Mark

I used to like the online versions where the appointment would automatically cut off!

Sending support! A part of moving to Scotland was to avoid flagshaggers

Lynx stynx as I used to try and tell them

For those who only know me on here, we’ve moved to Scotland. Not sure why

That’s appalling, my deepest sympathies
