The forecast said light wind and so I took the chance, placing books in various towns north of Perth. Everything was calm until early evening when suddenly that light wind began to growl. I imagined all these poor books snatched from park benches and town centres and tossed into the maelstrom. Losing the books was not a concern but the thought of littering the streets and parks was. I hate litter and love that much of Scotland is thankfully free from it.

Early morning I drove into Blairgowrie, breathing easier after spot-checking the centre which was litter free and various copies were still in place. A close shave. Dancing the project through snow, ice, rain and sun (honest, sometimes!) is a challenge but, although I love stormy weather, I hope it stays calm until all five thousand books are in safe hands.

Onwards to Coupar Angus.
