I wrote this essay primarily on the Great Tapestry of Scotland, but it also reads as a potted history of Scots, our literature, arts & culture, and contributions to science and industry, amongst other things!

I also embroidered the πŸ¦„ - our national animal!

Love this track, proper blast from the past. Saw Doves many moons ago at festivals, they were always great live. (Listening to the song gave me flashbacks to some nutter in the crowd going β€œJimi! Play Firesuite!!!” πŸ˜†)

The connection? Both Blood Red Shoes and Bat for Lashes (aka Natasha Khan) are from Brighton, England.

I'm a bit discombobulated time-wise, waking up in Tokyo and fully alert at 4 am now on Monday. Lucky that Mt. Fuji was not cloud shrouded from the airplane window, and captured several views that I'll share. Here's the first, worthy of a #Stunday.

my life was magical,
there was suddenly

It’s Bat Appreciation Week, apparently! πŸ¦‡ I’m still working on a Halloween sewing project, which just so happens to feature the little critters. I love seeing the tiny Pipistrelle bats flitting about here in the south of 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 at dusk, it always brings me so much joy.

There used to be a restaurant just underneath the terrace, made for quite an amazing dining experience!
