Sat 9 Sept 13° Glencoe

Rain stopped and a beautiful day dawned, dry and sunny, magical scenery now clear of rain and mist.
Followed the rugby test, ABS vs Argentina we won...yeah....while Pat and Les took dogs for a long walk. We caught up with them later at the pub, inland about 15mins. Stunning scenery change in colours with the sun and shade, colours of autumn mixed with purple heather ,Piers was right, he said the hills would be purple with the heather in bloom. As the wind slowly blew the clouds along in the blue sky, the shadow cast, created an ever changing pallet of colour. No wonder the photographers were out in  force today taking advantage of the break in the weather which is due to close in again tomorrow.



















Great Pub With 10 different real ales and almost that of lagers Les and Pat were in their element, to top it off they had haggis, neeps and tatties as lite bites. We sat outside in  the garden enjoying the warmth of the sun, still wrapped up against the midges, except Les, who having seen the sun, was in compulsory shorts and Tee shirt....he took the midges bites for all of us....brave man.

We went in for 2nd pint and the 2 guys ordered the haggis, neeps and tatties at £4.95 be rude not to....Pat had the venison and brie cheese with oat biscuits and I not being a fan of the above I had the thick tomato and chilly soup.

Long stroll back to motorhomes, still people coming to take photos, a male model shoot complete with drone and a couple taking pics of paddle boards as they have just bought some from China and were going to advertise them for sale...Tony's said they should try NZ as they are very popular there. The changing light, colours and hues on the mountain were amazing and the late sun on the water a stunning blue with the reflection of the blue sky above. Definately one of our best places so far.

Pat came over for chat and we planned next couple of days and booked ferry to Skye on Monday.

Lite  tea, pork pie and sausages,  relaxing evening, finished my book, thanks Pat for a very good read, David Baldacci very good author of detective murder mysteries.
