Fri 8 Sept 12° Glencoe

Heavy rain all night but quiet otherwise, my imagination took hold thinking the rain would flood the fast flowing river and take us along with it eeekkkk....my worst nightmare....so I was up 2 or 3 times looking at the car park to make sure it wasn't under water, but so dark and even with the torch it just was a big black nothing, and still the rain pelted down.

So not a good night for me but in the morning we were still parked securely and the river was still within its banks. There was a traffic incident on the road, when I opened the blinds there were flashing lights of emergency vehicles,  apparently an articulated truck had jack knifed and was sprawled across both lanes. Queues of  traffic both ways, Tony said he heard sirens about 8am but didn't here a bang or anything.

Rained most of the day but that didn't stop the hardy kayakers  preparing to go into the fast flowing river. In the kayak, sliding down the bank and into the river.

The sun came out and sparkled on the water like diamonds, lovely. The crash traffic cleared and Pat and Les arrived about 4pm, they did manage to park in Oban and get the fresh seafood,  bought us a salmon sandwich ,black, white ,brown pudding and a slice of haggis. We had a drink together in  Ruby, then back to Bessie to cook dinner, we enjoyed the salmon for starters it was thick and moist, delicious. Thanks guys 😊

We had pork chops and veges for dinner, quiet night....no rain pelting down and no more imaginings.

Prue flew back yesterday, so pleased we were able to have that time together in London .
