Good Grief We Got Out

Given that it's February, and given that the weather has been almost fixedly foul since 1st Jan, life just now really is all about the books the knitting and the TV. Which is fine by me but makes for a very dull blog I feel. 

However we have two trips away in prospect, one this weekend, and one at the end of next week, which is lightening to the spirits, except when the OH insists on looking at weather forecasts and muttering gloomily about high winds and muses about ferry disruption. Reports on both in due course. (Assuming we get to go!) 

Meanwhile we did manage to get out on Sunday for a short walk and we went over to east mainland for a look at the Gloup. Too early in the year for either nesting birds or blossoming wildflowers, but it was a clear day and there was no rain while we were out,.

It was blooming cold though. Glad we did it, especially as the weather turned nasty again almost straight away, and both before and since I have displayed a depressing tendency to sit in front of the stove and munch biscuits.
