Freezing weather has meant it is still a winter wonderland out there! Today I walked over to Mairi's to do a few hours of Granny Duty. This involves a walk through unpopulated section on this suburb to the northeast side of Glasgow. This was my route through what we call The Gut (grassy area with bushes between 2 built-up areas of houses):
Path through The Gap which comes out at Kilmardinny Loch.
Pass alongside the farmer's fields on my right and a small burn flowing on my left.
Trees at Kilmardinny Loch.
I left the children to walk the return route home, again passing beside the Loch. When I got there I found the sun, on this solstice day, just setting at 3:15 pm. I stopped to take some photos using my iPhone.
A couple of moments later I took another shot and then I continued on my way as it was -5 degrees Centigrade.I had only gone 100 yards when I found a woman's wallet, with credit cards etc, lying on the path. I spent a short time looking around to see if anyone was hurrying back searching the path for their lost item. Eventually I headed off after trying a couple of phone numbers (unsuccessfully) in the wallet. There was no identification.
I got home still with the wallet in my pocket and after wolfing down a couple of mince pies I walked down the hill to the Milngavie police station (at the bottom of our street!) and handed it in.

In case someone is searching the web this may be of help:
