Last night was another party, this time it was for family plus friends from the village. Us being the responsible adults left around 1130PM, other members of the family hung on until 2AM or so. They looked a little fragile this morning!
The more adventurous of our family decided to go on a two hour hike along part of the Great Glen Way, hangovers and rain were not going to deter them!! The more sensible of the family, Lyn and I plus junior grandson decided on a hike of our own…… in the car!
There were a couple of back road loops that we could drive, so we did.
There are plenty of sheep around here, and it is lambing season.
These were not the youngest lambs we had seen, but it was the best I could do today.
Below is a general view across the same field the sheep were in, the mountains in the background are obscured by low cloud.
A view in the opposite direction.
All along the roadside were bright yellow gorse bushes which added some welcome color on a dreary day.
Bringing back a previous category “View From the Front Seat”, albeit blurred from the rain, this the single-track road we were on for most of the morning
As we came off the back road we passed Neptune’s Staircase again, and then hit a traffic jam. The majority of the bridges across the Caledonian Canal are swing bridges and this one was just opening.
The sailing boat that went through had come up from Brixham in Devon, on the South West coast of England.
Tonight “should” be quite night with a pub meal for those of us who haven’t left yet. Tomorrow we will take our daughter up to the airport so that she can fly down to London to spend time with her friend. This requires a pre-8AM start!
