However, my friends managed to see cresties, and Jim Almond got some images. Keep your eye on the link to his blog on the RH side of my blog and you might find his cresties one day. However, he was off to Mull after leaving Grantown and, as he reckons to shoot about 32 Gb a day(!!!) when out on location, it might be a while before he posts on his blog!!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-10867043445940919202014-06-09T12:38:54.460+01:002014-06-09T12:38:54.460+01:00Congratulations on achieving sixty-eight years of ...Congratulations on achieving sixty-eight years of wisdom and sophistication!
