More rain - in fact mostly rain, though not always heavy.  Away by eight, but it's close to seven in the evening when we reach Heather and Doug's place at Perth.  Warm welcome, dry house, wine, dinner, talk, and family photographs, including one of my grandmother and her younger sister as children.  Doug and Heather tell us about their three months in Tuscany - happy enough that they went back for two weeks this year.  We're reluctant to call it an evening and go to bed, and not simply because of the Laphroaig, though that's a special pleasure.
