Spring lambs!
April is the month for new spring lambs. We have more sheep than people in Scotland so there are plenty to see.
Carbon neutral driver guiding!
How does it work? For every two days driver guiding I will plant one tree in association with the Woodland Trust. I will send a certificate to the clients. The forest I have chosen is on the West Kilpatrick Hills, just outside Dumbarton.
You may wonder, why does he not just buy an electric vehicle? The main problem is range. I would be lucky to get 170 miles from an electric van, I can sometimes do twice that in a day.

St.Andrews
Twice in one week at St.Andrews, which is great. Surprising how advanced the preparations for The Open golf championship are, considering it is not until July it seems they only need to add scoreboards and cameras.
