Due South to Moffat

I'm still looking for work, but there's not a lot around just now. Suits me. I'm nearly ready, but I could do with just a little more time to work on my stamina. My mood is a lot better (ask Denise about that!), and I'm back to having a positive outlook; as I had when I was in hospital. The support around me then made it a lot easier to be positive, and the progress was much greater - going from not walking at all to walking - even if only slowly and with the aid of sticks - is a huge jump. I still have great support around me from friends and family, but it is not the crucible that the hospital was. Nowadays, the improvements are smaller, and it's harder to recognise them for what they are. Sometimes I needed that pointed out to me, by Denise, and my friends.

We had a really nice drive down to Moffat, in the Borders, today. This is my favourite drive, because the scenery is stupendous. There are no photos here, because there are not many places to stop to take them. Some time ago I posted a photo of the Devil's beeftub, which is on this route. Today, there was a bit of snow about, and the hills were dusted with it. Superb, and I never even had to fight my way through Easter traffic over the Forth Road Bridge! The Highlands are beautiful, don't get me wrong, but sometimes it's a lot easier to head south.
