in my imagination, at least. I've been on holiday for two weeks already: not sure where they've gone to be honest, but they have been surprisingly fruitful. Thanks to Google I've been doing a little light research in the wee small hours to fill in a little more background about the post Hamish took at the end of Scotch Pine and the kinds of jobs he's finding himself doing. I'm slowly building up an image of the places around the wee cottage on the loch and, if I'm honest, I'm getting really rather excited.
The three years since Scotch Pine have brought a few changes to the lives of the characters - some of which have taken me by surprise already - and it's taken a little bit of manipulation to get everyone back together again but all the usual suspects will be there.
I'm heading away on holiday soon, which is always a good writing space for me, and I've got several scenes that I want to put down while I'm away. I'm not going North, however, but South, so the google images I've saved into a folder will inspire me, I'm sure!! And in mid August I have my (almost!) annual audience with the great Ian Rankin in Edinburgh - only stopping in the city for ten hours so that'll have to be enough to get a Scottish fix this year!
