Off we went to the Greenock Cut, an old favourite and a good length at about two hours. The weather was mild and dry and we had a really nice chat as we walked round. We had our snack of coffee and milk chocolate digestives sitting on the wooden jetty at the reservoir with the sun shining.
Davie had arrived home from university by the time we got back and we had dinner and watched a couple of episodes of Deadwood - we are now on the third and final season. The reason for choosing this box set was that we are hoping to visit that gold rush town on our holiday to the USA in July. Although the series is fictional it is quite faithful to the events of the time (1876 when the mining camp was evolving into a town) and a number of the characters are based on people who lived in the town, like Seth Bullock, Sol Star, Al Swearingen and of course Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane. The series has grown on us as we have watched it and I look forward to visiting the place that inspired it.
