What the forest by Loch Shieldaig sounds like http://stevecarter.com/random/forest19.mp3 ...and looks like at the moment: http://stevecarter.com/random/theforesthere.jpg

Great... the very day I get my new car happens to be Bert's 2nd birthday. He's convinced it's for him. (It kinda' is) http://stevecarter.com/random/2yo.jpg

The house with (in my opinion) the best view in Scotland (i.e. UK) is finished and for sale: http://stevecarter.com/random/bestukview.jpg (excuse rubbish photo).

I wrote this piece last November on the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war. Recorded this week in London, I've added some photos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFZ64TweVKA

It's nice to be back to some bumpy scenery: http://stevecarter.com/random/nice2beback.jpg

That's some sorta' valet parking gig: http://stevecarter.com/random somecarpark.jpg (..and no, it's not a drone shot!)

I've been mixing in RAK Studios. Home of Hot Chocolate. You sexy things: http://stevecarter.com/random/mmost.jpg

I popped out into the place known as 'Upper Street' this morning to take a look at the natives. More mobile phones are stolen from folk on this street than any other in the UK. Go figure: http://stevecarter.com/islington/islington.htm

One of the few things I love about London is the amount of ridiculously talented people that live here: http://stevecarter.com/random/pg19.jpg

The view from my window this morning. Not quite what I'm used to: http://stevecarter.com/random/4-3-19.jpg

This is Bert's not too subtle way of reminding us that it's time for his next walk: http://stevecarter.com/random/bertwaitwalk.jpg

The coast road: http://stevecarter.com/random/snowgones.jpg

Kenmore. If you're a sassenach (like me) you emphasise the first syllable. If you want to hear the Highland accent, emphasise the second, add another 'o' and roll your 'r'. http://stevecarter.com/random/kenmore19.jpg

The coral beach at Ardban: http://stevecarter.com/random/coralbeach1.jpg

Well I wasn't going to drive past was I! http://stevecarter.com/random/24-2-2019.jpg

I tried to buy this house 22 years ago (when it was derelict) http://stevecarter.com/random/triedtobuy.jpg

Very stylish: http://stevecarter.com/random/verystylish.jpg (Off topic - SteveCarter.com is 20 years old today - how the hell did that happen).

The south shoreline of Upper Loch Torridon yesterday: http://stevecarter.com/random/ULTJan19.jpg

It rained, then it froze, then it snowed. No grit on the driveway... so I drove half way up, stopped, put the handbrake on... and slid all the way back down.

The view from the Shieldaig campsite this morning: http://stevecarter.com/random/23-1-19.jpg

Talking of winter... http://stevecarter.com/random/properwinter19.jpg

That's one big crane: http://stevecarter.com/random/bigcrane19.jpg

I think it's pretty weird that I can look up from here and see a plane going from Dusseldorf to Samana. Also in the weird stakes is that it missed the plane going from Cincinnati to Bahrain. Still... they managed a decent stab at the Scottish flag as they passed. So... http://stevecarter.com/random/DDM19.jpg
