The Ungrateful

Having responded to our call to the British Divers Marine Life Rescue group yesterday, 'Claire Mc' wrote on the Golspie Village Facebook page this morning, "Walkers in Golspie - please look out for an injured seal pup on the beach between Golspie and Littleferry. I went out to assess today on behalf of BDMLR and it has wounds requiring treatment. We were all set to uplift and take to Fishcross for rehabilitation and he shot off into the water. If anyone comes across an injured pup please contact BDMLR 01825 765546."

What a way to treat the seal version of the emergency services!

The Memory Wanderer

I'm at the wrong end of the road, a short distance to look forward to and a long way travelled, so I spend more time looking back, enjoying the memories, and less time in anticipation of the way ahead. The road trodden has been a good one, a rich and winding one, over which I hold no regrets. There is much still to do - only the end of the track ahead intimidates.

Time is mine now, so I remember, sometimes deliberately, sitting in the warm sunshine, sometimes because my mind, as if keen to help, suddenly gives me a flash of memory, a vivid picture which, like an exploding rocket, illuminates a moment in life; and then fades.

I have seen its dark side but, in general, the world has been kind to me. I have few regrets, I have many blessings, so these thoughts are offered as a celebration of a fortunate life.
