Back At Base.
Posted: Thursday, 27 July 2006 |
I just returned from STORNOWAY the other day after a few days on the beautiful ISLE OF LEWIS I had good weather, and the people were as usual, a delight.
When I opened my blogging window I discovered two comments and was pleased to see names with which I was once familiar : Nic from Coll and Sunny from Arran. Yes Nic, I'm glad to be back. The weather is bound to have been better in the past; no serious pollution for a start.
Sunny, What is different about Arran - weeks of glorious sunshine and the rain falls at night!!! Has this also got something to do with Climate Change - diverse weather types in opposite parts of Scotland!!!
Never mind, It appears to me that we not only live on a fragile planet but in a world that is off balance, need I say more, not if you indulge in paying attention to the numerous media provisions.
Scotland is pretty well ahead with renewable energy so that some one has asked if we are or that we are benefiting already from an improved atmosphere, and maybe therfore better weather - Hence what we've had of late.To the leyman this is possible while the so called expert might not entertain such suggestions at any cost. But I am willing to take anything, almost, on board in my need for hope, now and the future.
I'm very fond of birds, and do a little passive bird watching, I am therefore one of those people who are not happy if they are mistreated in any way. A friend of mine, though, who lives by the shore cannot any longer keep ducks or hens, young or old, as the big black backed seagulls kill them. In spite of the fact that I'm so fond of my feathered friends, in a case like this, the possession of a shotgun would be in order.
