A bit late, but still happy birthday, Doot! :D :D
Well, what can I say, are you always so lucky with weather?
The far north looks spectacular. Cranstackie & BS are high on my to-do list, so now it's time to try meowing in that area :lol: :lol: We're just back from two weeks abroad, spent in a completely flat landscape - now hungry for the hills.
