In reply to Colophon (April 2025) by Aaron Davis.

As usual I am fascinated by your processes Aaron. Quite different from mine, so I have an itch to write my own colophon now.

I was also noticed you seem to have a taxonomy ‘series’ I’ve not noticed that else where. I am basing this on the links in the post meta.

I also wonder how you get on moving back and forth from classic to block on your two sites. To my surprise I am almost always in the block editor. Running some smoke tests on Glow Blogs at the weekend I was using classic for several posts and was a bit confused at times.

Mountainous landscape with Meall an Fhudair under a cloudy sky.

Meall an Fhudair, started bright, drizzle later. Cool breeze. The higher munroes had some snow. A few Cuckoos.Greenshank & Golden Plover on the higher ground. Frogs spawning in a pool in a burn, not in the hill pools yet. Little growth of heather or grass. Few flowers. Primrose lower down. Violets, wood anemones & purple mountain saxifrage (I think).
