(And a clichéd car shot!)

The (fabric) roof of my car has been doing fascinating things since I treated it with some waterproofing polymer spray. The rain beads on it when it falls, which is pretty in itself. But in the mornings at the moment, the dew is very close to freezing, and the visual effect is something I've never quite seen the like of before.

I am neither old enough nor married enough to be having a mid-life crisis, okay?

Once a petrol station, but for over twenty years a bookshop instead. The lovely proprietor made me a cup of coffee as soon as I went in for a look around. I felt terrible that I didn't buy the £40 book I really wanted, but I've bought enough toys recently... so I bought a £5 book instead, just so I had contributed. If you want to browse for yourself, it's in Blair Atholl (near the fabulous water mill where they still make their own bread!) The bookshop is next to the hotel, actually on what used to be the A9, hence the petrol station story. Follow signs for Blair Castle to get here. Oh, and this is also the first shot to be uploaded of something I suppose I'd better get used to over the winter: my car with its roof up!

Oh, my word. This is a thing of beauty.

Oh, my word. This is a thing of beauty.

...with my car doesn't mean you get to keep it, k? ;)
