Walking around Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is part of Scotland's first National Park. It has the most spectacular scenery and we wanted to introduce some of our guests to it. Being such magnificent weather over the weekend we decided to walk part of the West Highland Way, from Drymen to Balmaha. As you reach the top of Conic Hill, this is the sight that greets you - wonderful! Where else would you wish to be on such a lovely day!

Not quite so little lambs

The lambs have arrived in the field opposite the house. They've taken such a long time that they're really quite big now, but still very sweet. We'd almost given up hope of seeing them this year. Their jumping antics and general rushing around make the wait worthwhile though.

Further work on the garden

We thought the fence at the end of the small driveway was really quite stark. So we've planted a little crab apple tree, which is now in full bloom. With the promise of some tiny red apples later in the season, it's likely to be colourful for quite a bit of the year. We've also planted some yellow bamboo to help to camoflage the fence a little; you can just see it behind the crab apple. Together they've made quite a difference to this little patch.

WiFi now installed

We now have WiFi. What a great experience! I've just been using it to configure the settings. Seems to work well. We look foreward to you trying it to see for yourself.
