It's a glorious day today and that's noteable because it is also the Forres Highland Games when statistics (my own) show that more often than not it rains.
People will come to the town for the spectacle and the fun but sadly they will not come down this end. The Games are in the park at the east end. My shop se trouve at the west end. A world away.
Oh well. At least I am not travelling nine hours in my car as it goes to Peebles and back to view a new pony for Sandy, the last naughty mare being 'light on her feet' (i.e. given to rearing, a sin it is extremely difficult to break the equine breed of once they have taken to it.) It will do the car good to get a proper outing. These days the trip to Cullen and last week to the auction in Dingwall is as good as it gets.
