The couple who run the plant stall under the wall of the castle were feeling a bit low this week - they've been feeding a robin every week with biscuit crumbs (which Islay often tries to hoover up when she goes to visit them) but it hasn't appeared for about six weeks now, and they think something must have happened to it.
While we were standing there, the chap said "Are your feet sticking to the ground?" They were; we worked out that it must be sap from the sycamore that overhangs there. They said they'd been told that the tree would be cut down soon - but since it's Richard Booth's tree, 'soon' could be any time in the next ten years!
Down near the clock tower, a new stall has arrived, making and selling peg loom rugs with unspun wool. It's nice to see someone actually making the thing that's on the stall.
