Monthly Wrap Up: August

I have never done these before. Is it possible that I’m taking part to compensate for an almost total lack of other material and participation in the blog world over the past month?

Now that I am home and my body has given up from exhaustion and developed the sort of cold only Scotland can give a person, I will emerge from my corner, waving sheepishly.
