    Hi Robin - you've excelled yourself this time, as somehow, you've caught that real silence and stillness - which I was badly needing when I watched it for the first time, yesterday... We're lucky in Scotland to have easy access to so much of it, as there are times when you just need to go and be a tiny part of a massive creation, to get everything that's troubling you back into a good sense of proportion. 'Cant say I'm so sure about that image with the long johns elastic mind you 😂😂
