Holidays

This year we spent a lovely fews days in Gatehouse of Fleet.  On our first whole day we took our usual trip to the coast and the Cream o' Galloway.


The second day we took the bus to Castle Douglas and then walked the long way around to Threave Castle.


I did not fancy the ride in that little boat so we just looked from the "mainland". We walked along to the bird hide to hopefully see the Ospreys instead. There had been no sign of them all day but just as we were leaving a man said the male was sitting in a different tree. (Not the one with the nest.) We had a look through some powerful binoculars.

On our last whole day we walked to Loch Whinyeon.




Biddle thought he was at the top of the world.
