Going back in time again – this is a photograph of Loch Lubnaig, near Strathyre in Scotland, where Dot and I spent some of our honeymoon in a white-washed, thick-walled cottage that was much colder inside than out. This was in August 1968, and the weather was glorious.

Some years earlier, in the mid-1930s, my parents had also spent theit honeymoon here. In fact the cottage we used belonged to someone they met then.

Here in Norfolk the weather is still bitterly cold, and I am due for a five-mile yomp tomorrow. Dot took a friend to Walsingham today, and I prepared some stuff for tonight’s group. Dot is even now cooking a vegetarian meal. Time for spring, surely?
