Well at least Gail remembered to pack my waterproof coat this time...
There is a theory that May is the best month to take a holiday in the West of Scotland. When the days are long, the midges not yet abundant and the weather calm and settled. Supposedly.
Well, midges don't like severe gale force winds, so it's true we didn't see too many of them over at Loch Torridon last week. And it's also true that it wasn't getting dark until nearly ten in the evening, not that there's much incentive to go outside and take advantage of the daylight if it's also raining horizontally. Settled weather? Ha! Judge for yourself from the photo below..
By dint of careful shower dodging, we did manage to get out and do some exploring, and at least the waterfalls looked impressive.
We even, eventually, saw a ray or two of sunshine.
And by the end of the week, I was more than ready to put my paws up.
Such a comfy sofa. Zzzzz.

Hi Hamish
Yes, your week sounds a lot like outs except we dont have coats!!!
Also we have very long ears - these do tend to get blown about a lot in the wind which we dont like.
Your pictures are great - we bigified the collage and it is really good.
We are glad you are now home taking it easy. These walks in the wind can fair take it out of you!
love

Ciao bello Hamish!
What fantastic fotografie! With all of that walking, it's no wonder you're all tuckered out.
We get those annoying midges here, too; sometimes, it looks like a big cloud of smoke over the water. Is that what you see, too?
Tanti baci!
