A few days at Loch Ness
Chilli enjoying the smells
It's much colder on the east side of the country.

The falls of Foyers on the south side of Loch Ness
By the Dores Inn (really good food) the saleroom of the "monster man" - he was open an hour later selling his ornamental monsters.
The nearest we got to seeing Nessie
Looking down the loch towards Fort Augustus
A wee lochan in the forest above Inverfarigaig.

Wind turbine
Work has started today on the school's new wind turbine. The first one they had put onto the side of the school a couple of years ago was pretty useless, so they're going for a bigger one on the playing field where it's certainly, usually windy. Personally, I think it'll be a blot on the landscape. Time will tell.
Return of winter
Overnight snow isn't staying round here, but a trip to Achnasheen this morning saw temperatures drop below freezing inland & the need for 4wheel drive at Glen Docherty & beyond. Back to the west & the gales are driving the surf high up the beach.

World Book Night
Sorry for the long gap in postings but we've both been rather unwell. Thankfully, now improving but still a way to go.
Last night we took part in World Book Night as "givers" of Alan Bennett's "A Life Like Other peoples". We were based at The Millcroft Hotel & enjoyed an evening with people calling in to recieve a book & have a chit-chat about the event & books in general.
We've been enjoying some lovely weather over the last couple of weeks, mild & sunny, and of course the days are lengthening at an amazing rate. Flowering currants are in bloom & the daffodils are about to explode any day. The crocus are past their best & snowdrops have been superb. There is a threat of snow later this week but we shall see.
