Happy Hogmanay! - by Jude Lally

Lang may yer lum reek (may you have fuel in your hearth and smoke in your chimney).

While Scotland has many Hogmanay traditions mine is always to get out a walk on New Years Day. This morning was gloriously sunny, after what feels like weeks of rain - and as much as I love rain, sun is a welcome change.

Welcome to all the new folks that signed up yesterday and wow to those of you who signed up to paid subscriptions. Honestly I can’t beleive folks pay to read my writing - thank you! It really means a lot.

So here’s my new years walk, around a reservoir which sits at the bottom of my favourite hill, just a few miles from Loch Lomond.
