AFTER breakfast I get ready for a paddle, Fiona rocks up and off we go into the mist on the loch.

It’s misty, grey and damp – but fairly calm…and we have a grand hour or so on the water.

When we get back, Margaret’s made a batch of scones which we enjoy with coffee and a blether.

I need a nap then hit the studio to work on a co-write song I’m working on with my pal Elaine then we head off to Gartmore.

Duncan and Irene have invited us for dinner and suggested we go early and catch the local bonfire and fireworks.
