It's been a while...



It's been a while since I wrote anything so here is a quick catch up!

Tony and I have been to the
 "Isle of Whithorn" in Scotland and then up to "The Black Isle" also in Scotland.

We are safely back home now and settled into our usual routine.
Instead of boring you with too much writing I will put some photo's on for you to look at.
The only things I will comment on are...


The view across the Harbour at The Isle of Whithorn was lovely


until...

the workmen decided to stay at the pub next door and park the van right across the front of our window even though the entire street was empty.

I hoped to see Red Squirrels while we were in Scotland, according to the website it was teeming with them where we were stopping. 
We visited every wood and forest in the area it named, did we see one ? What do you think?
We travelled up to the Black Isle my brother told me where to look. Again we went out hunting them. 
Did we find did ? NO WE DID NOT! 
We set off home my chances of seeing a Red Squirrel all over, but then I could not believe my eyes there in front of me, running across the A9 was a flipping Red Squirrel. Of course no camera no photo but I had seen a Red Squirrel. Just you wait next time I will get a photo, I will just sit at the side of the A9!


Tony with his supper the first night at the Isle of Whithorn.
He bought theses from a man called Andy who had just sailed into the harbour on a boat called Bright Horizons.
Ninians Landing 
This is where we stayed at the Isle of Whithorn.The apartment was very nice inside with everything we needed. 

We called into Wigtown (also known as Book Town) they have a visitor centre which has a live camera watching an Osprey nest. I have to say they don't look like Ospreys to me.













I had some fun with my camera and the sky, I took some different kind of shots that I wouldn't usually take.
I was quite happy with the results I got, I might even experiment more often just to see what else I can do. It makes a change from birds!























Just to finish off here are a few birds it wouldn't be right without them would it?











The last photo has to go to the star of the week

Sleeping or hunting?



It wasn't me !
