It's 7am on a Saturday. Outside it's distinctly cool. I know this because I have to leave the cottage and cross the cobbles to the bothy, which is my office. In fact once I'd shut the front door I felt it was so cool I stopped to check the thermometer, and it said 8 degrees. Yes, I could see my breath, and it's July.
Still, that's Scotland, and all around me it sweeps away into the big curvy hills of Dumfries and Galloway, doing lochs, drumlins, woods and little farms as far as the eye can see.
I'm thinking about Doors Open Days, which is one of my new projects. It all happens on the weekend of the 24th and 25th September, when all the historic, extraordinary, inventive places the Doors Open Days team (that's me, Alison Caldwell and GCAT) have tracked down are thrown open to the public, for free. Scattered out there among the winding lanes and the odd Beltie cow are amazing places.
