Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness,
Close-bosom friend of the maturing sun...

Was pulling a full 'to autumn' in Edinburgh this morning.

#Edinburgh

A few months ago, we spotted an unusual inn in a gorge between destinations. After a little reading around, we learned that an old railway used to run alongside it until the 1970's. It is now disused, used as a footpath.

Today, we went to investigate.

The walk takes you through two tunnels of around 500m long. Both of which have a turn to them, so you end up in complete darkness even in the bright Scottish sunshine!

I had an interesting thought the other day whilst cycling around the city.

In Edinburgh there's a fair bit of graffiti, most not worth discussing, but you see the word 'YES' everywhere. A lot of us know what that means, but I can imagine folks who moved to Scotland post-2014 look at this graffiti quizzically.

'YES', to what? To whom?

Of course, it made me think of writing - that there will be things in your world that makes sense to the characters, and not to the reader. 🧵

Happy #caturday everyone! Here's a pic of our white moggy pulling a 'so, whatcha doing in this here establishment' pose. She just needs a cloth over one arm, and a glass in the other.

Might be of interest to #writer #scribbledon and #nanowrimo folks.

Morana ponders her next writing sprint. "Should the cats leave the safety of their cat bed in the next chapter? Is it egotistical to have a cat named Morana as the main character?"

She struggles to think of a name for the title, and then, sudden inspiration hits. "The Great Catsby."
