Finally, aged 66.5 years, I managed to visit ‘my’ hill, Hill of Mungo, & Mungo Wood, near Huntly in Aberdeenshire today, accompanied by my 34 year-old son, Stuart. We enjoyed a great walk together but failed to locate St Mungo’s Well! I can recommend this corner of Scotland.

Blimey Mungo Melvin ! This is a weighty tome 😂

A lovely family morning walk at Stourhead this morning, but not yet at its full Autumnal glory. Nonetheless the gardens were packed with those enjoying the splendid show of nature’s colours. Well worth a visit at any time of year.
