BBC 4 must know that I’ve turned 50. The whole evening has been filled with prog music! Hooray! We’ve had everything from the late 60s right through to the present. Well done BBC 4!

BBC 4 Celebrates My Birthday
Saturday, July 24th, 2010It may be Spring
Friday, May 7th, 2010Well, that’s the UK General Election over for another few months. We might have some sort of government by the end of next week and, while I wait, I thought I’d spruce up the site. It hasn’t snowed for a few days now and so I think I can assume it may be Spring. This is a nice chance to play with my new copy of Carrara 7 which made the pretty blossoming tree at the head of the page.
And here’s a lovely view of neolithic barrow, Cairnpapple Hill, as it caught the spring sunshine last Saturday.
A Proper Winter
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
Unusually, Scotland is still receiving fresh snow, more than two weeks into this cold weather. Looks like most of the country’s councils have now run out of road salt and we’re in for a deep freeze this year. Schools haven’t gone back after the Christmas holiday and Dumfries and Galloway’s children can enjoy uninterrupted sledging. Let’s hope the gas supply holds out.
And Now, It’s Official.

Fresh snow fell on Christmas night.
Well, not only did the snow hang around until Christmas Day, but we also had a fresh fall that evening. The Scottish bookies won’t be happy, but there are a lot of happy kids who got to go sledging on Christmas Day. The phrase “living memory” comes to mind when trying to think of Dumfries white Christmases. We’ve been very lucky with this one and did our best to make the most of it. There’s a little bit of a thaw on now but we’re expecting more snow to follow. So the snowy theme on this site is likely to continue for a while yet.
