Natural Connections

Modern life in Scotland is increasingly busy. The connections our ancestors had with nature and the land are being lost. As leisure time shrinks, or is filled with hi-tech experiences, opportunities to experience nature become fewer. And yet it is possible to connect with nature on a day to day basis. All around us, the great web of life continues to hold its shape, and nature continues its eternal cycles. Keep looking, listening, smelling, touching - and keep experiencing natural connections.

Bitterly cold day in Edinburgh yesterday. Braved the North East flanks of Arthur's Seat but soon got beaten back by a ferocious westerly wind. Next to no birds about (except for Mute Swans and assorted gulls on St Margaret's Loch far below us). However heard some intriguing "Tut-tut" and "Whee-eet" calls from deep within the gorse which I imagined might be from Stonechat and Meadow Pipit respectively. Many of the Gorse bushes in full flower. I'm not sure if these are the last flowers of last season or the first of next. Interestingly, the gorse in some places is mixed with Broom. Wondered if this might be part of a deliberate fire-prevention policy.

Pseudo-Supermum McAulay is amused to read that you are a keen Blogger too. My MSN-enthusiast sons asked me to get in touch with you, and this was the only way I could contact you - couldn't find your phone-number. Yours have our number. Hope you don't mind this invasion of your privacy. Seasons greetings, and we all hope that you've had a great Christmas and will have a happy, healthy and wealthy New Year.
