The funding will help us to keep our #RepairCafe going - it doesn't cost much to run it as it's entirely run by volunteers but the donations we receive don't quite cover hall hire and insurance so the Coop funding will go a long way for us. Any1 signing up in Oct will mean an extra £5 for us :)

Local Bridge of Weir/Gryffe Valley peeps: Our repair cafe is on this Saturday. Fix it, don't ditch it! All free, but donations will help us sustain this project.

Some weekend: wee yin shortlisted for the Janet Coats prize for poetry (again). And tomorrow I’ll be trying to conquer the 23 miles of the Kiltwalk for Rays of Hope cancer support. There was a comedy night for the pta thrown in too and clearly not enough sleep

All forgiven thanks to this scenery. Highest point of the British rail network, I still love train journeys

Hello Climate Change. Make yourself at home. Biggest of the neighbouring trees at the Gryffe upended thanks to storm Eòwyn and dumped into our house/garden. It was a mighty crash and damage to be assessed later (fingers crossed roof is ok). Friends lost all their chickens 😭

Chuirm chiùil dheireannach bhon #Niteworks, agus a’ chiad thuras nuair a bha mise ann. Bha oidhche sgoinneil a th’ann, agus bha e beagan tògail cuideachd. Suas leis a Ghàidhlig gu dearbh.

Just some local shots. #Renfrewshire is a beautiful place, though much could be improved too.
