Half time, 1-0 Hibernian. Fast-paced match; Hibs certainly the better side.

At the wonderful @StockbridgeMark , which runs every Sunday. Looking for lamb pies and smoked salmon and whatever else catches our fancy.

No lamb pies, so we have "settled" for venison and mutton versions from The Wee Pie Company (@WeePie) in Glendoick.
