Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
through a gap
between half-buried rocks
seaweed nods
towards the misted mirror
where memories sweep past

Wishing you all a wonderful Tuesday,
with love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

It has been a worrying weekend for many of us in the Highlands and other tourist destinations. Beauty spots in England, Wales and Scotland were swamped by visitors at a time when everyone has been asked to refrain from non-urgent travel.
This morning the caravan parks have closed and most people are returning home. They have better medical support there than they would have in remote parts of the country.
We can understand that people want to visit their favourite places. If we all work together to flatten the curve, this will soon be possible again.
