Job of the day was a team rescue of this swan enabled by instructions from me on CCTV of "Away" and "Come bye".
Over half a mile of guiding him to our lake.
Reviewed CCTV and played it in 2x FF to the Benny hill theme.
Unfortunately really can't upload it

After the storms, driftwood.

New Zealand has sold out of Ukrainian flags. We tried the usual places; Flags R Us, Flags Direct, Flags Plus, Flags & More, Flags for Africa, etc. plus Trade Me (NZ's answer to eBay) and all the Poundland-type shops, but they were all sold out. In the end we bought the lucky last flag at - of all the places - The Scottish Shop in Dunedin (bottom of the South Island). We phoned them up and a very nice lady with a strong Glaswegian accent arranged for it to be couriered to us at no extra cost.
Nelson, where I live, is the base for a fleet of Ukrainian fishing boats that fish in the Ross Sea. When they are in port the supermarkets stock-up on sunflower seeds which they like to toast and eat with their vodka. The vodka may be harder to find as many NZ liquor stores have stopped buying it from Russia.
Hopefully the Ukrainian sailors can see our flag flying in support of their homeland.

I've been on flights where the pilot has looked like a schoolkid on work experience but this is getting ridiculous.

Managed to get photos of one of the humming birds. They're so fast. Really bright coloured as well.

A couple of pics of old vehicles that my son saw today up in North Cumbria. I think the Landy might be a light weight one ?

Climbing up on a roof is not dangerous….. it’s the falling off that hurts…

It's not the falling off that hurts, it's the stop.

A few (thus far) days away in Scotland...
Set of up the A7 from Carlisle to be greeted with the Saltaire..

A bit of a dreekit day but made it to the C&MC site at Melrose.

Managed to dry up for a quick walk round the town

Very cold overnight and a white frost in the morning but a lovely sunny day forecast...

Our coffee with Canada Geese(?) as a sideshow..

Blue skies and sunshine as we headed north..

Turned of M90 into the Kingdom of Fife and lunch at Burntisland...
.

On to our overnight at Kingsbarns Parking between Crail and St Andrews

Beautiful day for a walk on the beach.

Quiet overnight, a bit cloudier in the morning...

A windier night forecast so decided to move inland a bit as we headed north, turning of A90 at Brechin towards Banchory.
Lovely run over the tops from Fettercairn...

Found a CL just north of Banchory..

The gales on the coast didnt reach us so had a wet but quiet night.
Headed north in the morning, over the edge of the Cairngorms and the 'Whisky Capital' of Dufftown. Never seen so many distilleries in one place.
Ended up at the Aire at Findhorn...

Very quiet but all the more lovely for it...



Lovely coloured shingle on the beach

As well as some very red granite used in the sea defences

Rewarded with a beatiful sunset as shown in Jimjo pictures at#23509 above.

Drove up to Fort George nr Inverness airport to recce the overnight there but now big "NO OVERNIGHTING" signs erected so decided to head west looking for monsters...
Coffee by the Loch....

Decided on a pitch at Loch Ness Bay Campsite, Drumnadrochit,
which is normally closed at this time of year but they let self contained units stay at a reduced rate...

Only three of us on and very quiet...

Lovely setting and an easy walk into the village..

With an original way of marking where the dog walk is...

I found a Medieval Chateau at Oudon today, unfortunately it was closed so i couldn't get inside but it might be worth a visit when it does open again.

This chap was standing guard outside but he wouldn't say much.
