Ullapool
The bright sun and enclosing clouds made the exposures today a real challenge.
If you look carefully there is a seal in the shot

Lael Forest Garden
We stopped of at the Lael Forest Garden on the way back for a walk and a brew up.

All week we have been promising ourselves Clootie Dumplings at the Speyside Heather Centre – we went today but were surprised to find that most of it had burnt down. We thought that dumplings were off but then we noticed they are still running a small tearoom and have Clootie Dumplings on the menu. Not twenty-one varieties like we chose from last year, with cream or custard but still delicious.
Teapots from the Antiques Room still open at the Heather Centre – I did not want my “photo of the day” to be their mis-fortune.

We were walking and geocaching in the Glenmore Forest today. With side visits to The Squirrel Cafe and Loch Morlich.

The boys were planning to fly their kites but unusually there was only the lightest breeze – so the big kites stayed in the car and they had some success with their lightweight parachute kite.
I could not get any nearer for the photo as I was left watching the bags.
Ice creams
Before the kites our search for Geocaches and Pokemon took us past the local theatre.

We all went to Boat of Garten today to enjoy the superb weather by going for a walk. Which happened to pass; several geocaches, a variety of Pokemon (so the boys said but I could not see them) and a cafe where we watched some of the Olympic cycling.
