Photos: Firth of the Forth boat trip

Took a trip on the Firth of the Forth recently (it was work, honest) and it just happened to be a beautiful clear Autumn day, just about mild enough to stay out on the upper deck. 

Have traversed the road and rail bridges many times but never got to see the latter from the water before. It was quite stunning.

 

New musical discovery: Camille

She's been around for a while but I heard her music for the first time on Radio 4's Front Row believe it or not (further sign of my decline into middle age).

Her new album and the one I bought is call Ilo Veyou (say it fast and you'll get it) and it's great. She has an amazing voice and likes to play with it, experiment with sounds as well as lyrics. Reminds me a little of Regina Spektor. She sings in both French and English and this is my favourite song, sung in French and called Le Berger. 

I have no idea what it's about (my french only stretches to le chien est dans le jardin) so if anyone wants to help me out, I'd be grateful. Apart from sounding so beautiful, pure and simple I love the way the chorus has a sound which touches on the oriental. I also love the 'solo' at the end.
