This is the book that collects them all: thoughts, fotos, sketches, the postcard of Ben Nevis in ful sunshine, drawings, ideas, travels' memories, recipes (ie. of Mint Sauce and Blood Pudding), poems, aphorisms, dried leaves and flowers, railway tickets, a menu of that little restaurant you went that special evening, a business card of that lovely quiet B&B in the middle of nowhere, the words on the sticker in that little shop not far from Inverewe saying "Shoplifters will be shot and eaten", and so many more of these very special moments you would never remember if you had not noted them down.
