A random Saturday!

The weeks seem to be flying past this year, I can't believe that it's the middle of March already!

 

JH and a friend had a survey to do in Crianlarich on Saturday morning and the boys and I decided to go with them and we spent a sunny but cold morning in the park! 

 

After they'd finished we decided, on a complete whim, to go to Oban. 

No planning, no idea why or what we were going to do when we got there. 

 

So we went!

We visited the Barn Bar and met old friends. 

 

We bought fish and chips, and beer and belated birthday cake and ate and drank at sunset, looking at this view........

 

 

throwing stones off the slipway.....

 

admiring the beautiful shades of blue.........

 

 

 

It was a glorious, indulgent, stone skimming, chilly, beautiful gloaming.

A balm for the soul. 

 

Roaming in the gloaming

It's been a fabulous week weather wise......well when I say that I mean it's been dry! What a dreadful summer, autumn and winter we've had.  It's been ridiculously wet, raining practically every day. 

This evenings sunset was a cracker though, beautiful reds, pinks and oranges!  It brought to mind the old Scots word for sunset.....gloaming, as in roaming in the gloaming!

Now I'm done being stereotypically British and talking about the weather!
