Head round the corner

Howdy folks. Feeling shattered right now - we're having a guest in who is perfectly charming, engaging and witty. He does have some special needs. Which we're more than happy to tend to, but boy, it is exhausting. I'm aware I've still got 57 journal entries to read (won't do that until tomorrow or Monday, by which time it will have accumulated to about 150). Just want to leave you with three titbits - two items of news from the Highlands which caught my eye and what Russian roads look like for real.

* A hillwalker was rescued with serious headinjuries after falling 600 feet from a ridge in Glencoe, 20 miles south of Fort William.

* A shepherd was found dead after being reported missing since yesterday near Newtonmore, 40 miles east of Fort William. He had been gathering sheep.

* Think your roads are bad? Have a look at this!


Enjoy your Sunday.

  2. One's found alive, the other's gone.  How God balances things, eh?  I've seen worse than that road, we called them paths.  Even on foot they were treacherous!   CATHY

  5. Hope you are getting some rest now!  Thanks for the link to the Russian road story.  I really like the broken English that the post was written in.  The pictures?  Whew!!  The more I saw, the more horrified I became.  This is a National Highway?  We really have it way too good over here, don't we?  I take a lot of things for granted!  Thanks for the wake up call!
