That&#8217;s the theme for this week I&#8217;d say. On Monday, the weather was pleasant and I thought to myself I needed an excursion. I was heading towards to the ruins of Browlands stone circle at Garmouth [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.themodernantiquarian.com\/site\/14747\/browlands\">TMA<\/a>] but as soon as I started driving, I decided to go to the Bin of Cullen instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was my first time climbing the hill (320 metres). The colours of the brown ferns and the green firs are just lovely. I love Scotland. It didn&#8217;t take too long to the top and was a decent stroll for my ankle.

It would&#8217;ve been windy! Then I tootled down and what was nice was that I met a lot of kids coming up the hill. After school? Perhaps not that young, but anyway it was nice to see young people enjoying the hill \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Funny how sometimes you don&#8217;t know where you want to go until you start the journey.
