THE usual Monday routine – an early alarm to get the sourdough in the oven. While it bakes, then cools, I drink coffee and deal with emails and my socials.

I have a couple of personalised West Highland Way Gifts’ WHW trekking flasks to make up for an order – someone from Canada walking the WHW next month wants to collect them when passing through the village.

I get the flasks engraving then hit the studio for a session with one of my Zoom guitar students.

There’s some work to do in the studio before my regular afternoon guitar student arrives…then I drive into Balloch to pick up some shopping.

Back home I start setting up filming for an idea to go with my weekend recording of Key to the Highway. I manage a take before my weekly WIldcats’ livestream on Facebook.

Tidying up after the livestream I realise that my video ‘take’ earlier didn’t record…ah well, there’s always tomorrow!
