A touch of Wind
So I find myself sat in the departure lounge at Aberdeen Airport, with this going off outside. Now I have suddenly had a really important meeting arranged for me tomorrow in London at early o'clock, and I suspect I'm not going to be there. Joy. However, I did get to experience the elements on the top of a hill halfway between here and Inverness, in a specially cleared area that the Forestry Commission are going to plant with 'native' trees, rather than the bloody awful fast-growing easily removed conifers that carpet half of Scotland at the moment. And it was extraordinary. I've never been so far north in these little islands before. And me without my camera. The one on my phone is just not up to the job.
See - that's what you get for always going on about how much you like wind. Hopefully you have now learnt your lesson and realise that wind is not your friend.
Not. Your. Friend. x
Blimey - did you manage to get home? The trains packed in about 10pm on Tuesday, so I'd be surprised if planes were still taking off!
(PS I'm only 31!)
