I've been using liner socks for over 40 years for similar reasons to you. Far and away the best I have found have been Helly Hansen. I had three pairs that I rotated for many years. When they finally wore out I tried various makes most of which either didn't work well or wore out far too quickly (a...

Agreed! Two days ago I saw three noisy Oystercatchers in Glen Strae where they come to nest by the River Strae, and yesterday I heaard the first woodpecker drum roll of the season in my North Argyll garden. Spring indeed.

Such lovely dogs!

Great to see you back in full flow!

We had some wind Kathleen, enough to take down odd branches but nothing worse really. Otie and I got blown about a bit, but more fun than discomfort. And very little rain, certainly compared to a couple of weeks ago when almost every route in the area was blocked one way or another. Keeping fingers ...

Lovely stuff Kathleen.
Are your hatches battened down ready for the next 24 hours?

Fine photos thank you. A good lens there!

Have a great time Kathleen. Hostel sounds a better bet than unpredictable weather in a tent 😏

Ah, brings back memories Kathleen. Up there many years ago, though without the entertaining company of natatorial friends and canines. What a fine area it is. Maybe I should have retired to that house in Kinlochewe...

Midgeopolis in my North Argyll garden yesterday...

Lovely pictures thank you. The sand martins that are accustomed to nesting on the banks of the Orchy here have not yet arrived. I worry that some heavy spates during the winter have washed away too much of their nesting site. Great to see the otter. I recall many years ago sitting by Loch Torridon w...

First cuckoo here in North Argyll yesterday (13/4). The most frequent time slot here over my 10 years noting arrivals (I know, I'm a pathetic bird nerd) is around 21st to 24th so this is an early bird. Poor soul - it's snowing here this morning.

Met these two dancing around each other in my Argyll garden this morning. Presumably courting?

That was lovely Kathleen - a reminder of my own childhood in Edinburgh. I was born there and, since my father spent most of my early years in the 1940s away on RAF postings, my mum and I lived with my grandmother just around the corner from Chambers Street in Forrest Road. I haunted the museum - do ...
