White mountain at Glen Esk

This winter has been very mild in Aberdeen. So, to experience a bit of cold and snow we have been going to the mountains! In the last walk we went to Glen Esk. We started in the car park near the Invermark Castle, followed the track by the Water of Lee, then we climbed steeply and passed the beautiful Falls of Unich and went uphill to experience a breathtaking view over Loch Lee and the Glen. We saw loads of mountain hares, which still have their white coat, and grouse, the famous grouse. Thanks to Anja, we have a record of our relaxing chat at the top of the hill and of our faces full of joy for being in outdoors Scotland.

Blue diner

Life is full of coincidences and interesting connections. A couple of years ago I watched an interesting documentary on BBC about diners in America. Suzanne Vega, an american singer I really like, was interviewed in this programme because of her song: "Tom's diner." Last christmas, I was listening "Hotel Babilonia" on my favourite portuguese radio antena 1 and they were talking about the excellent Suzanne Vega's new album. Back in Scotland, I listened a programme on BBC radio 4 about Suzanne Vega's new album and her song "Tom's diner". In February this year I had a very tasty brunch at Tom's diner. Isn't life special?

"I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner

I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee
