My uncle had warned us that the weather might turn for the worse and we should consider getting the first ferry to the mainland, in case later ones were cancelled. It was raining when we woke up so we headed to Lochranza and caught the ferry. It was good advice, by afternoon it was howling and gales set in in the evening.
At Skipness we saw uncle Bruce and met his mad Jack Russell, Scootch. She sleeps in a sleeping bag and runs in circles if you chuck her out of it. We chatted, went to Tarbert, went for walks and then Bruce let us have a go on his quad bike. We’ve never been on one before and it was ace. We went tearing around the field in front of the house until we were soaked. And to top it all, excellent venison dinner.

Hi Judith,
Thought you had a bit of Scottish lilt in your voice when I met you in July at the Mynd!
Glad you had a good time on Arran,Zabdi is real helpful and has great knowledge of what should work on Arran . Come up in April /May next year hopefully it will be banging.
Scott, counting down the months to spring.
Hi Judith,
It’s your second cousin here! Spoke to Bruce and he told me you have a web blog with photos so here I am peeking into your life! Smiled at the parallels between our childhoods, courtesy of our time spent in Skipness. I still miss your gran. I like the idea of living between the UK and Spain-best of both worlds…going where the weather takes you!
Hi Lorraine,
Wow, what a blast from the past! How’s Australia? We keep meaning to come to Oz and then life gets in the way. One day… What are you up to these days? Actually, you might want to email me the details instead of putting it on a public blog… my email is judithm@directlearn.co.uk
Nice to hear from you.
Judith
