Well I hope that your August has been as much fun as mine. We've actually had half-decent summer weather for once and it feels as if I've hardly spent any time at home this last month, what with trips to France, Belgium, Solfest in the Lake District and another trip to Scotland. Fortunately the schools go back in a few days, so normal service will shortly be resumed.   

This month's Image of the Month competition is a little different, but to be eligible and party to the competition details you need to be in my "Image of the Month" club. Sign up here - you've got to be in it to win it!

Normally I'd include a few of the links I've found worth sharing over the last month or so, but a rather painful lack of internet access whilst travelling has left me a little short this month. In fact, I've only managed to get a solitary blog post up with some more images from my last trip to Skye here.

Links to download the wallpaper are just below.

Enjoy.
