Thanks guys. That is just about the size of it Gypsy. We'll go for a few bracing walks, visit some old friends and look for a nice place or two for a lovely meal. We'll take a few photos too and upload them so we can show you our shitty weather!

P.S. Great tune that, it's in my CD collection!

That is one of my fav tunes and means a lot to me.

Where's Reg? I went for a pee in the Aultbea Hotel in Wester Ross and there's a piccy of him on the wall in the gents!


Next to these three numpties!

Anyway, here's our digs for tonight...


Oh! and this place mat says it all weatherwise...

Wales you want for sheep mate, WALES. Don't forget the big wellies and ewe can have great fun.........

Here's what the rain has done to the rivers. This is the River Blackwater in Strathgarve, Ross-shire and I filmed it today...

I have that picture in a clipper frame, it was a birthday card from Janet, And another of Steve, When he was Frank Bullit leaning against a door frame, with a shoulder gun holster, Do you know, its like looking in a mirror, Yes, Should have gone to spec savers, I wonder what he would look like at 57 though, Also people say Janet looks like helen mirren, I just dont see it,
Must be an age thing.

Here's the view from our bedroom window...

LR, do us a favour and move these posts into their own thread so we can have your holiday report all in one place. There are some really nice images here and when you get back you can carry on telling us about it.

Nice beds and that is without arguing.
Reg says his Janet is Like Helen Mirren,THIS IS THE PICTURE HE SENT ME.

Brings a whole new meaning to Cam corder,

We were driving out to a lighthouse this morning and this fecker was walking along the road! We had to stop the car to let him past!

I noticed you left his sack of spuds out of the picture,

Nothing to do with modesty, he was walking so fast and I was trying to get the window open to get a shot before he was past us!

We aren't far from Loch Ewe, where the Russian convoys left for Murmansk and the White Sea ports. There is a monument at the mouth of Loch Ewe now commemorating those who died in the Arctic convoys to Russia.



The old anti-aircraft gun sites are still there as well but are in a dangerous condition. I climbed over the fences to get a better look at these old defences.









It always stirs something in me when I see things like this and realise that nearly all of the men who left this Loch and manned these A.A. sites are all gone now.
These are photos of the waters below the guns and through which the convoys had to sail...

Great Pics

It was bloody freezing today!

Mermaid wearing the latest fashion...

Hope you both packed your thermals :cold2:
