Apoloiges, loyal reader, I have been very remiss in not posting anything for a few days - lots of phone calls and Zoom meetings, and not much of interest to share.

Anyway, for loyal Gatherers, this 'screen shot' from BBC iplayer showing last night's Reporting Scotland 'clap for carers' includes a couple of familiar faces.

I had no idea the BBC were there, but was looking out of my window (this street can be seen from my flat) listening to the pipes and clapping too!
