Next up - we're not long back from Scotland! So, how was it?


This is the third year in a row that I've headed to Scotland with Calum and Sheila - his mum, for the podcast (although Calum and I have had many holidays in Dunbar over the year!) We didn't do a great deal - I took the bus to North Berwick one day and sat there listening to podcasts and watching the view - another day I pottered around Dunbar - we had a couple of nice meals. On our final full day we all headed to Edinburgh and went up on Calton Hill; I took photos and recorded for the podcast. I probably recorded less than usual - but that tends to happen when I go back to Dunbar as I've been there a number of times since the podcast started in 2016 and the plot-line tends to involve Nessie; a lot of the plot recording tends to be done once I get back - with just effects and brief chatter recorded whilst in Dunbar itself.

Here are some photos from the trip - the ones of Deeley were taken by Toby whilst I was away - all other photos are by me!


Next time we'll be off on holiday again - but this time I'm heading to Kent for a creative week down in my old haunt; a place we've visited a fair few times in recent years - in fact I spent my last birthday there back in November 2018...

That's all for now...

Take care - more soon,

Yeti hugs,

Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx
