A few more pictures from Scotland as this sojourn draws to a
close. The auld country is seeing us out
in typical style. While England basks
in sunshine up here there is only rain.
True it sometimes slows to a mere downpour, but it soon becomes
torrential again, with the roads more like rivers and aquaplaning a popular and
unavoidable past-time!
Actually it does stop sometimes, that’s when the midges come
out to play. Only the size of a pinhead
they are undetectable until they have been and gone, leaving a red spot on your
arm that feels like a tarantula has bitten it.
Occassionally though it both forgets to rain and the midges go to sleep
off their meals at the same time. At
such times as this Scotland
is a beautiful place, with spectacular scenery and wonderful wildlife…..

| Microwave, kettle, fridge, laminate floor, and electric heating, are you listening Spurn! |

| And no sign of Paul McCartney or his marauding pipers! |
