I love my home here in Argyll, and one of my favourite things is its coastline, rocky inlets, turquoise seas (ok sometimes grey seas ) but sometimes it's nice to go inland and enjoy a different type of landscape. That's what we did this weekend, sneaking away to one of Perthshire's Big Tree areas. We've had…Read more Weekends in Perthshire

Sunny Monday mornings
We have had the most gorgeous Autumn so far. I live in Argyll which is in the west of Scotland, it's a beautiful area but often wet. Our prevailing wind is from the west so it scoops up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and releases it as rain over us. Well, that's what usually happens.…Read more Sunny Monday mornings
Walking beside Loch Lomond
Today it's wet and windy so I'm hunkered down at home, wrapped up in warm woolies with DogS curled up on her bed nearby. Yesterday was completely different, it was one those gorgeous, crisp Autumn days. We travelled south for a family visit and on the way stopped off to stretch our legs. A friend…Read more Walking beside Loch Lomond
Dancing* and dogs
But dancing dogs not so much. Anyway, last night I did a lot of dancing. My feet are complaining today, always the sign of a good party I'd say. We whirled and shimmied and stamped the night away. With the result that today, despite our "extra" hour in bed, I'm rather tired. And nearing the…Read more Dancing* and dogs

As it turned out we didn't do things quite in that order. I had a few work thing sort before we could leave and it's…Read more Days out with DogStarke
Travelling
My first ever blog was a travel one. It was private, a way to share my trip to Australia with my sister. I'd got an iPad as an early birthday present and MasterS researched the options and helped me set it up. Then I got the bug.... Track back two years. It's 2010. I'd started…Read more Travelling
it when the sun shines on Sunday
This is related to liking Fridays, so if they are maybe my favourite day then Sundays are my least. Not Monday? No, because on Sunday, you can have the dread, the feeling of weekendoverness and then it's just another hard week to come. I don't get the dreads these days, well not for Mondays or the…Read more it when the sun shines on Sunday

To be honest this post was meant to be "doing nothing" and I have a half formed post in my head, but I'm afraid it's late and MrS needs to get up for a very early train tomorrow so it's not fair for me to stay up late writing, and I'd need time to develop…Read more dogs
