4.15pm in a book shop/cafe in Wigtown, Scotland. They have got wifi, and I've got my notebook! The sun is shining at the moment, but i don't know how long it will last, as we have had some horrendous gales and rain over the last 3 days. It has a nasty habit of clearing up in the evening and then coming howling again overnight. (Blasted Atlantic weather systems!)
I was in this shop on Saturday, and spent a lot of money. I then visited several more....so now I have more books to find shelf space for! Wigtown is the "second hand book capital" of Scotland.

I left home on Thursday just before the archaeologist came for his last visit. The concrete had been poured for the floor, the last drain trench was about to be dug, and the blocks for the inside of the walls were due that afternoon. There was no news up until then as to when the stone would arrive.
I expect to see quite a bit of progress when I get back next tuesday, unless the stone still hasn't arrived!

A lot of driving and eating being done at the moment, but not much walking! I hope to get to a couple of stone circles soon if the weather picks up, and there are a couple of good exhibitions on in Kirkudbright, also.
And the Wickerman festival next weekend, but I shan't be going, because it's my friend's birthday, and we will be partying at the camp site.
